I've always viewed "purpose" as a very personal thing that I get to determine. My purpose has changed throughout my life and probably at quarter centuries (and not just mid-life). I think the point of this exercise is to reevaluate your purpose to make sure you're investing your time, energy and resources into something that's still important to you. It's very easy to get caught up in an outdated purpose or, worse, someone else's purpose for your life.
