Focus, discipline, mastery
Mid Life Celebration is the opposite of midlife crisis. Not only in the words used to describe it, but in the attitude needed to be completely fair, good and decent – to be wise.
Yesterday’s post about Perez Hilton and Miss America was a controversial topic and I attempted to remain neutral.
And this is what a midlife celebration encompasses – a maturity that allows you to not judge anyone, for any reason.
Once you show intolerance to another, you can no longer ask others to be tolerant of you.
What all of us want out of life is to live it uninhibited. To be set free from our fear is the ultimate achievement.
How much time do you spend on your back up plan?
Is your future dream your backup plan? So like, when you retire, then are you planning to get cracking on the next stage of your life?
Too late!
Much too late.
As I was sharing the Mid Life Celebration vision with my banker two days ago, it simply came out of my mouth:
“People think balance is either/or, when actually, it’s all four. Too much focus in this one makes you a geek, too much here makes you a jock, here, a monk, and here, a king.”
“It is no simple matter to pause in the midst of one’s maturity, when life is full of function, to examine what are the principles which control that functioning.” — Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973)
We reap what we sow.
Blinding flash of the obvious, eh?
“Aspire to inspire, before you expire.” — unknown
Before we know it, our time will be through. No second chances. No do overs.
If tomorrow never comes, will you be ok with that?
