Feed Your Midlife Temptation

We can all agree that there are some things that just make sense – there is no denying their truth and predictability.

We all have:

Reading five blogs each day is challenging. I get that.

Living a great life is challenging too.

But neither one is impossible.

Feed your midlife temptation to transform to a more balanced life.

Heard the one, “Be careful what you wish for”?

How about this one, “What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want”? — Mignon McLaughlin

Mid life is a wonderful opportunity to be thankful for all the questions swimming around in our heads.

Questions without easy answers.

Questions that may have more than one answer.

Questions that must be answered.

I’ve trained myself to resist the temptation to quit, to give up, to think it’s not worth it.

That too is a hard mid life challenge. That too is one I can’t quit.

Dare to Dream!

“If you think you can, or you think you cannot, you are right”. — Henry Ford

Life is hard. It’s full of fear and failure, especially at mid-life.

At what point is it okay to simply give up?

Carpe diem!

PS. The reason I can’t ever give up is simple. Our son will follow in my footsteps. What hope does he get if I quit?

What’s a Mid-Life Crisis BFO? It’s a Blinding Flash of the Obvious?

Do you have a problem or an opportunity?

A problem or a challenge?

A mid-life crisis or a mid-life celebration?

The choice is always ours to make. Choose wisely. Choose simply.

Mid-Life Crisis Teacher:

“Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards”. — Vernon Sanders Law

Vern Law also said, “A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits”.

Mid-Life Crisis experience, even though most of us have been through hell to get to mid-life, is one of the greatest gifts we can ever receive.

Glass half-empty or half-full. It comes down to our attitude, doesn’t it. We can not quit our efforts to keep a great attitude.

Like it or not, that’s the reality. We can not quit.

I better get going. Heard a rumor there’s a test tomorrow. Carpe diem!
