1. Find your “will to live.”
2. Keep asking THE question: What is something challenging you’ve always wanted to try or be, but now worry you’re too old to do?
3. Stop believing your competencies are fixed. Adding the word “yet” to your mindset can help, according to the well-known Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck. In other words, think, “I’m not an artist, pianist, surfer, runner, entrepreneur … yet.”
4. Be okay looking foolish.
5. Define your “crop.”
