Mid Life Pace

Clearly Ahead Or Clearly Behind?
Clearly Ahead Or Clearly Behind?

Happy Friday everyone and thank you for visiting Mid Life Celebration. Ever work really hard for a really long time and wonder how you’ll keep your pace going?

What many great leaders do is celebrate the journey, not just reaching the final goal. They learn the power of celebrating milestones.

In our personal and professional lives, we face this same challenge. How to keep a fast and steady pace to accomplish all that’s expected of us.

The secret?  Celebrate milestones. Are you familiar with this concept?

Milestones are what you make them. There is no science to it, other than to simply find things to celebrate and feel good about, because the goal is to keep your midlife pace going.

The alternative is to lose interest and quit.

Tomorrow, I’ll share a few Mid Life Celebration milestones and invite you to share some of your own.

Careful What You Wish For

To Infinity And Beyond
To Infinity And Beyond

Dream impossible dreams.

To infinity and beyond.

Anything is possible.

Carpe diem.

No regrets.

The sky’s the limit.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Reach for the stars.

Be careful what you wish for.

Midlife Ambition

Isn’t that what leads us to the proverbial midlife crisis?

Ambition.  Can’t live with it.  Can’t live without it.

Or can we?  Live without it, I mean.

And maybe not live without it, but alter the course of our ambition.

I mean, alter it from selfish to selfless.

And by selfish, I don’t mean to say it’s wrong to be professionally ambitious.

And by selfless, I don’t mean we should sell all our belongs and live with just the shirt on our back.

But there is this rare opportunity, at it’s peak in mid life, that we can really get serious about where we currently are and where we ultimately want to end up.

Most likely, at midlife, these are two diametrically opposed paths.

Skip Your Colonoscopy

This Everyday Health article summarizes how we should think and act when we begin to think about a midlife colonoscopy, and whether or not to delay it.

Makes us uncomfortable to think about someone sticking a small camera-tube up our rear end.  Doesn’t it?

Last year, like always, the annual physical was completed the first week of January.  Dr. Weinberger wrote the appropriate prescriptions for a mid life adult, and off I went.

It’s embarrassing to say, but I never got the colonoscopy last year.  Where did the time go?  How could I let this happen. At 50, we are supposed to get a routine colonoscopy, right?

And here we are in March already and I still haven’t had the annual physical.  It’s next week.

You know what last year feels like right now?  Gambling.
