When do we pursue change?
When do we resist change?
Mostly, in our humanness, we resist it. We are basically weak, fearful creatures. And yet we know, instinctively, that change is the only constant.
If you want midlife peace, you must be willing to earn it. Earning it requires changing.

There is peace in our midlife journey, and peace in our realization that midlife change is good, even if it scares us to death.
“Know where you’re going in life, you may already be there.”
Do you ever find yourself in a quiet moment, wondering where you’re headed, and wondering how long it will take to get there?
And maybe, if your dream lasts long enough, you find yourself at your destination, astonished. “How did I get here? This isn’t what I wanted?”
We may have already arrived at our best place. Good health, only a few bills, a steady paycheck. Ample friends. Reliable things.
And yet, in midlife, if we aren’t careful, we might completely miss our exit.

Did you watch the sunset last night? Or the sunrise this morning?
Time marches on. This is a beautiful story. Just like last night’s sunset. But you really have no idea do you?
How much is enough? A famous and sultry actress from yesteryear, Mae West once said, “Too much of a good thing is wonderful”.
We can assume she wasn’t talking about stuff. Anyway, the question still remains. And some collect stuff that defies logic, common sense, basic hygiene, and fundamental organizational skills for practical living.
Excessive collecting can complicate relationships and alienate people from the ones they love, just for starters.
Most of us certainly don’t have the answers, nor do we have any appetite for supporting this behavior. If we did, would that make us co-dependent? Like being co-dependent with an alcoholic in denial?

Each day, do you attempt to simplify? De-clutter? Detoxify? Purge? Reevaluate?
What if you did?
