Portuguese term or phrase: tem os seus próprios apelos interiores
Context:

Na verdade, quando completamos cada nova década de vida, temos a tendência a refletir sobre os últimos dez anos e a repenser sobre os próximos dez. Cada idade terminada em zero, como 50, 60, 70 etc. tem os seus próprios apelos interiores. Para muitos, um ponto de virada ou "u-turn" na vida é quando vemos os filhos se preparando para deixar a casa e se tornarem menos dependentes.

Muita Obrigada,

[each milestone ...] evokes its own inner dialog


Explanation:
Having passed quite a few of these milestones, I'd say that it's more of a dialog than a matter of being drawn to something. At least that's the way it's been for me. I start asking myself a lot of questions and trying to come up with answers.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Interesting, but your rendition does not match the overall tone of this book. It is more practical and less literary.
