Joyful Anticipation
Do you look forward to each new day?
I mean, with a joyful anticipation? Not an awful dread.
This can be challenging to say the least. You have to suspect that some readers may not believe I have much experience with Hell, with challenges, problems, obstacles, fear, failure, struggle, grief, agony, hopelessness, strife, worry, doubt.
Do all of you have a ton of experience with these things? Okay then, I rest my case. We all do. No one is immune.
Then why am I so optimistic and “joyful”?
Great question. Some people think I’m crazy. A weirdo. Or, worse, a fake.
It’s taken like 50 years, but, I’m totally cool with it all. Finally.
One of the secrets to being joyful, is so simple, you’re not going to believe it. And it brings great joy to tell you that tomorrow, I’ll reveal January’s “value”.
Wisdom Confidence Courage Joy
Do you have words that fill you with Joy? Words that inspire you? Words that instantly create positive images in your mind?
Four favorites are in the Mid Life Celebration blog post title here – wisdom, confidence, courage, joy.
Do those do anything for you? How about these:
- Faith, Hope, Love
- Peace, Harmony, Balance
- Creativity, Innovation, Change
- Laughter, Humor, Bliss
- Hunger, Desire, Passion
- Determination, Tenacity
- Vision, Mission, Brand
- Social Media, Blogs, Facebook
- Mind, Body, Spirit, Money
Words. So many good ones. So much meaning.
Mid Life Crisis and Mid Life Celebration. Ya with me?
Mid Life Change Eh?
“To be human is to change. To be perfect is to change often.” — Henry Newman
Heard this last Sunday at Church. It resonated. I immediately wrote it down, because it reminds me what I’m trying to say at Mid Life Celebration.
Mid Life Celebration, or as some say, mid life crisis, is a time to:
- Rethink
- Reprioritize
- Recommit
The above three also happen to be the tag line here at Mid Life Celebration, which is two years old now.
That’s all it is. Do those three. And then start the process over again.
PS. The domain name is two years old, but I’ve been using the phrase in a variety of ways for 11 years, since my mid life crisis celebration began.
Mid Life Escape?
Maybe escape is the wrong word. And if it’s not the wrong word, it certainly seems like a strong or desperate word.
I’m in no position to tell anyone what to do. Duh, right?
Mid Life Celebration is the escape route I took. Rather than feel defeated and hopeless, it seemed like a good idea to rise to the occasion and be the change I wished to see in the world.
Perhaps my story will help you with yours. Perhaps not.
Can you start to see how this works?
For me, honesty is the first step.
And the fruit of honesty, eventually, is joy.
