    Reflecting (Northwest Heading)

If they feel inwardly fulfilled, the second half of life often provides an opportunity for a more vigorous extraverted engagement with the world at large.

Point to GCI Heading

Balance Your Life After 40

The second half of life gets interesting. You may have established good friends, a career, a family, or a firm direction in life. Yet after midlife, all of that may not seem to be enough. You may yearn for more—more growth, more interests, more talents, more meaning, more value. In the second half of life a desire for wholeness becomes more acute. In the second half of life, it becomes increasingly important to live ARTfully.

The GiftsCompass™ Inventory (GCI) helps you see the gifts that come most naturally to you and it also provides insight about the unexplored parts of yourself that can help bring greater balance, wholeness, and meaning to your life.

After you take the GCI, point to your preferred compass heading above to learn more about becoming whole in the second half of life.

Take the GCI and chart a course to greater balance and wholeness.
