Here you are midway through your life. Your conversation has become boring. You've got a family, a mortgage and a job as a dentist (insert your job here).
A long time ago you had a dream about the way you wanted your life to be. Maybe you wanted to be a sculpture or a painter. Maybe you wanted to learn to speak German or become an electrician. Maybe you don't even remember your dream. My guess is that if you had that dream 20 years ago you probably still have remnants of that dream tucked away in the garage or attic. It might be a box of books or a can of brushes. I will suggest that you find that box and reread those books, or buy a canvas and dust off those brushes and paint.
For some of us recovering our old dreams can be scary especially when our current lifestyle has left us disillusioned. We may have to admit to ourselves that we never wanted to be a dentist at all, you wanted to a sculptor or a painter or an electrician.
My challenge to you would be to find ways to slowly integrate your dream into your life. Read your books, buy a little clay, take a class to learn how to speak German or whatever you remember your dream to be. You will stand a little taller, feel a little more proud, a bit more interesting and a few steps closer to your dream.
