The truth hurts. The truth will set you free.
At midlife, we have an opportunity to: Rethink, Reprioritize, and Recommit.
Our challenge? We’ve ingrained our poor habits so deeply that it’s impossible to change.
Yet.
Yet there is an opportunity to overcome this. But you REALLY have to want it.
This is the part that gets tricky.

We see it everyday. Despair. Gloom. Frustration.
Midlife should be the time of our life, but it’s not.
The 1 midlife changing secret?
Give yourself a deadline. Literally.
This is probably going right over your head. Being a very busy person is great medicine for avoiding the pain of an unfulfilled life.
I’m giving myself until June 8, 2019.

What if you had only 10 years left to live?
None of us has tomorrow as a guarantee. But just for the sake of starting in a tangible place, can you envision a ten year plan?
I’m 1.5 years into mine.
There are many things that no longer seem so important. And many that now become very important when before they weren’t.
My guess is you’re living life from the bleachers, as a spectator sport.
Prove me wrong.

Wednesdays, during midlife give us the proverbial midweek check and balance.
Am I loving my job and excited to still have a few work days remaining, or is the week dragging and Friday feels like it will never get here?
For me, I feel the heavy load.
The heavy load of responsibility, not the heavy load of despair.
The clock is ticking. Yours and mine.

The other day I overheard a lunch conversation about how sick people are of hearing from their employers (for the past decade), “You are lucky to have a job!”
It’s true. People are sick of it.
It’s true. The employers are right.
Be the last to lose a contagiously positive attitude, and be the first to regain it.
Things will eventually get better.
Meanwhile, I’d like to offer a 3rd option.
Never lose it and continue to be the change you wish to see in others.
