Mid-Life and Henry David Thoreau?

Associate reverently, and as much as you can, with your loftiest thoughts.” — Henry David Thoreau

Anyone who falls into the temptation of thinking a mid-life crisis is the only path through our mid life journey, is missing, in my opinion, a huge mid-life opportunity to flourish, in a mid-lfe celebration.

Our thoughts about mid-life are really the ultimate factor in our attitude, and relative enjoyment of mid-life.

Personally, I feel a deep sense of thankfulness that I’ve reached mid life. Imagine the people you’ve known who never made it this far. What do you think they would have given to wake up this morning, and be presented with the challenge to see today as a mid-life crisis or a mid-life celebration?

I rest my case, your honor.

Carpe diem. 🙂

Mid-Life Crisis, Mid Life Crisis or MidLife Crisis?

Mid-Life Crisis, Mid Life Crisis or MidLife Crisis?

Spelling it differently doesn’t change it’s meaning, does it?

What do people mean when they say, “I’m having a mid-life crisis”?

Does it conjour up images of mid-life regret?

Does it conjour up images of mid-life opportunity?

Could all of this be reorganized or repackaged like this?:

Mid-Life Celebration, Mid Life Celebration or MidLife Celebration?

Again, the spelling doesn’t matter. What matters most is how we react to the phrases.

Now that’s the key to anything in life, our reaction.

Who knew life could be so simple?

PS. Simple doesn’t mean easy. Simple is just the thing, though, to help us keep it at the forefront of our thoughts. Because maybe then, we’ll actually do something positive.

Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will?
