A primitive weapon to fight midlife crisis

Mid Life Celebration book
Wisdom come from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.

 

The best and easiest way to combat a midlife crisis is to:

Reduce our expectations to zero.

Natural reaction to this is, “Are you crazy, there’s no way.”

Remember this truth:

We see what we want to see.

When we expect nothing, everything becomes a gift.

Gratitude reigns down.

We don’t believe we are worthy of this wonderful overload of goodness.

But, my dear friends, we are.

You are.

Whether you believe it or not.

A midlife celebration.

Criminal was my lifelong, general lack of intentionality in consciously and thoughtfully making wise, habitual choices.

Enter midlife…

Midlife presents us with two striking choices.

Life altering choices:

  1. Fear and doubt
  2. Courage and faith

Astonishing how fundamental these two choices are.

Criminal is our general lack of intentionality in consciously and thoughtfully making wise, habitual choices.

To be sure, our choice is habitual.

Turning my midlife crisis into a midlife celebration was the small change that changed everything.

Blindsided by midlife?

One of Mid Life Celebration’s biggest advocates shared a copy of the book with a small business owner. The business owner is a very busy person (like the rest of us).

His comment was (paraphrased here): “The author doesn’t live in the real world.”

First thought?

What world does he think the author lives in?
