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.

Sooner or later it becomes crystal clear

Drew this in less than a minute in 2008

Sooner or later it becomes crystal clear. Life is not a dress rehearsal. Our excuses often lead to regrets, and regrets can lead to life’s biggest wakeup calls. Wake up calls provide an amazing opportunity. However, what is missing in the midst of this is permission to change – to rethink, reprioritize, and recommit.

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!” Mid Life Celebration is using our gut-wrenching discovery, also known as a wake up call, to change things. Stop waiting for permission. Go!

In less than a minute a decent midlife celebration logo brainstorm

Serious is as serious does. Wait. What?

The business consultant advised that a logo tells people what to expect. For example the Apple is not a computer, but it is simple. So I started brainstorming and in less than a minute got this…

Excuses, regret, opportunity, permission.

Personal responsibility, authenticity, simplicity, balance.

The art of living.

The art of dying well.

A 🙂 on our tombstone?

Balance. Priorities. Excellence.

The basics.

Common sense.

An example or a warning?

Direct, audacious, antagonist.

Nut-job.

Driven, determined, dreamer, doer: does what he says he is going to do.

Humble servant.

Mid Life Celebration ISNB # — Five powerful chapters covering excuses, regret, opportunity and permission

The only way I know to stay motivated all the time is to stay motivated all the time.

Talking is easy. Doing is difficult – maybe impossible we tell ourselves.

There is a new book on Amazon that calmly and quietly suggests we never again tell ourselves these lies.

Do what you say you are going to do. Otherwise we are left with excuses and regret.

There is a second opportunity that most, if not all, of us wait our entire lives for – permission.

The second opportunity is Mid Life Celebration.
