Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Hatred at Mid Life?
“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not”. — Andre Gide
I believe this mid life quote to be true, but struggle sometimes to make it real.
Why?
Because it takes courage. Having courage can make you unpopular and lonely.
Who wants that at mid life?
Yet courage, really, is one of the few things in mid-life that makes us whole.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Anger at Mid Life?
Probably.
There’s a lot we have to be angry about at mid life.
Yet, may I humbly submit this midlife quote for your consideration?
“Anyone who angers you, conquers you”. — Sister Kenny
Sometimes, it takes every fiber in my body and soul not to get angry. And like other lessons I’ve learned through 50 years of life, staying focused and disciplined is always better and more productive than not.
Good luck. Stay with it. Don’t give up. Forgive yourself and keep trying.
There’s a Chinese proverb that says something to this effect:
“Fall down seven times, get up eight”.
Make it a GREAT day. Carpe diem. jeff noel 🙂
“He gives little who gives with a frown; he gives much who gives with a smile”. — The Talmud
Make it a GREAT Saturday.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
“Virtue alone can’t build character. Temptation must have a hand”. — Unknown
Who knew temptation actually had a positive side to it?
Make it a GREAT mid-life day, because if you don’t, who will. If not today, when? Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
You’ve heard me say this before, I believe whether we have a mid life crisis or a mid life celebration – it’s our attitude that determines our label.
Same with our entire life. How far we go in it depends on our attitude.
And ultimately, it’s the same for everything’…….
“In all our actions, God considers the intention: whether we act for Him or for some other motive”. — St. Maximus the Confessor
Make it a GREAT Thursday. It’s up to you. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
