Here’s why midlife transformation means so much

bad role models
we can not afford to become apathetic role models
parental role models
stay focused on being a role model – until (at least) the day we die

When we’re younger, we are led to believe as we advance in our life, things will get easier and even more pleasurable – we can start to coast after we reach the summit. Remember riding a bicycle to the top of a hill? The reward was the downhill ride without peddling.

Children grow up, become young adults and follow the aging process.

If we do not remain our child’s role model (forever), someone else will fill that gap. How is that acceptable?

Does this one thing suggest a law of attraction at midlife?

Does swapping health stories with other similarly aged midlife adults suggest a law of attraction at midlife? Indeed.

We all start to realize the second half of life (after 50) will almost certainly be shorter than the first. Maybe even significantly.

The above photo reveals four messages:

  • (bottom & blurry): affording the cost of early adoption is easier with a rainy day fund
  • (top right): hint for Baby Boomers – go after some childhood dreams
  • (top center): the symbolic bear is by my side, even at home – make the unbearable (travel), bearable
  • two MacBooks signify always have a backup plan – life is always unpredictable

Should every Boomer have a blog? Yes. Even if it doesn’t seem so. Only a decade ago, we could have asked, “Should every Boomer have a mobile phone?”

Back then, just like now, we probably could say, “No”.

Should every Boomer have a phone now? Duh! A personal blog is no different.

We are shaped by our thoughts

Almost looks like a brain?

Almost looks like our thoughts on our brain?

Our thought-stream is habit forming. We’re not consciously aware of this. And it determines who we become as aging adults. Consciously we know this is true.

But still. We are not prone to change. Life only changes when we redirect our weakest thought habits. Not changing is one of our strongest habits.
