What we signed up for wasn’t what we signed up for

Think for decades, then spend time rethinking

 

It all comes down to our attitude.

Doesn’t it?

We get what we sign up for.

Roughly 40-50 working years.

What we didn’t realize when we were younger was that what we signed up for wasn’t what we signed up for.

Mid Life Celebration ruptures the notion that balance and thriving are myths.

Fighting for survival severely strains thriving.

 

In our exhaustion from the daily grind, an opportunity presents itself everyday. Except it’s probably invisible to most of us. Maybe the decently self-aware person doesn’t miss it. Who knows for sure?

If no one is immune from life’s demands, how do some seem to make the obvious first choice?

Survive or thrive.

Pick.

All are eligible to thrive.

All of us?

It would certainly seem so.

We should never judge others on their perceived luck or privilege. This would certainly start looking like an excuse. Denial. We don’t need any more of that in our life.

But it sure beats trying to do the challenging work of learning how to thrive despite the hell we all go through.

Later, right?

Michelangelo Quote
How long until we set ourselves free?

 

Is it possible to feel more alive than right now?

Oh, wait, not now.

Now is not a good time.

Busy. Very busy today.

Too much stuff to do.

So maybe later, right?

Then, you know, later – then we can feel so incredibly alive.

Right?

The challenge with balance

A recent Seth Godin post revealed he writes three or more posts to get one for publishing. He discards the others.

If you follow Seth (and he comes with the highest recommendation, because he’s brilliant) you know how extraordinarily different he thinks (and writes, and speaks).

And yet in his message – usually uniquely positioned in a way we’ve never thought of – we find ourselves going, “That makes sense”.

The challenge with balance, is that we do not have the luxury of spending three or more days to get one day of great balance.

This, too, makes sense.
