Chip Conley argues that aging becomes purposeful when you stay in a growth mindset instead of a fixed one. He describes three shifts: cultivate openness to learning, repurpose your accumulated wisdom in new ways, and reframe aging as an exciting phase rather than decline.
you're open to maybe being liminal. To actually— being liminal is to be in between two states. It's in being in a transitional state. Generally speaking, when we get to be an adult, we don't want to be liminal. We think we're supposed to know it all, and then we create what's called a fixed mindset, which then means we create a small sandbox to play in. And then we wonder why we get bored with time. So long story short is Part of what we help people to do is create a growth mindset, shift their mindset around what's next for them in their lives. How can you mine your mastery and your wisdom and repurpose it elsewhere? And how can you actually look at aging as a period of life to look forward to, as opposed to something you're scared of?
