Midlife crisis is spending our life chasing our dreams and finally getting there, more or less

Sooner or later it becomes crystal clear. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do.
– Freya Stark

Midlife crisis is spending our life chasing our dreams and finally getting there, more or less.

But in looking around, we think, “This isn’t what I wanted!”

Deep breath. Exhale… Remember all those things we promised ourselves when we were younger?

We should do them. But when?

Our biggest midlife challenge isn’t desire.

It’s time.

Finding time to… Pause.

Time to simply breath in and, maybe, actually, to take back…

Take back a little time to do something for ourselves that’s long overdue.

To… well… quite literally…

rethink • reprioritize • recommit

To re-shuffle our deck so to speak.

Guest Blogger Lorie Sheffer: Whoops

Baking on a kitchen counter top
Sugar and salt look remarkable similar, yet yield opposite results

 

Why is it that some people seem to confuse “mistake” with “conscious choice”?

It’s a mistake to accidentally grab the salt, thinking it is sugar, thus ruining an entire batch of cookies. It’s a mistake to call someone by the wrong name because you honestly were confused, or to unintentionally mistake a person for his or her look-alike sibling. Taking a wrong turn and getting lost is a mistake. Mistakes are unintentional.

When someone steals, lies or cheats, they are making a conscious decision to do so. At some point, they have given themselves permission. They didn’t make a mistake; they knew exactly what they were doing. The mistake may have been thinking they wouldn’t be caught, or thinking they wouldn’t regret it, or thinking there would be no consequences.

Back and forth between smooth sailing and ‘why did this have to happen to me’?

Difficult to imagine managing life’s busy, challenging, unrelenting tasks without a positive outlook.

For most of my life it was back and forth between smooth sailing and ‘why did this have to happen to me’.

Now?

Never complain.

Never feel sorry for yourself.

Work hard. Stay focused. Have as much fun as you can while doing it all.

It will not slow down until we die.
