For many men, the journey through life is dominated by the need to provide for their families. Years spent in a career that may not ignite passion can lead to feelings of entrapment and unfulfillment. As they reach later stages of life, a desire emerges to rediscover who they truly are and pursue long-set-aside personal goals.
