How did you find you life's work and passion after age 40? Is it possible?

I'm trying to find my passion in a career. I took the path most traveled and I found myself lost, unfulfilled after 25 years of working for a paycheck. I never discovered what I truly enjoyed and ended up here. No more excuses, only left to take action :)

    May 25 2012: It's never too late to do new things, even you are at the age of 40+. In my opinion, it's based on how you look at the life around you. Be positive and everything will be fine.

      What I focus on at any given time throughout the life cycle has changed. Passion lives in my heart always...all ways:>)
