Back To The Midlife Antidote

What Will You See When You Look Back?
What Will You See When You Look Back?

Every day it’s the same.  Isn’t it?  It goes like this:

  • No Passion
  • No Drive
  • No Worthy Goals
  • No Desire
  • No Patience
  • No Resolve

So there you have it, the antidote.

It’s yours for the taking.

But you don’t.

Have I not done enough to make you angry motivate you to begin to Rethink, Reprioritize, and Recommit?

What else do you want from me?

You’ve got to be willing to kick your own butt.

Are you listening?

You’ve got to!!

Mid Life Curiosity

Anything You'd Like To Say?
Anything You'd Like To Say?

Ever have those routine conversations that take you to a cool place? A thought-provoking place that raises questions that aren’t often raised?

Not talking about alcohol or drug stimulated thought-provoking questions, but straight-forward, no bull, full-on, hard-core life questions.

Things like:

Am I no longer king of the hill?

Why is everything turning gray, everywhere?

Why am I so out of shape?

Do others still find me attractive?

Do I still have “it”?

Why am I no longer king of intellectual capital?

Is there any hope to turn my life around?

Mid Lifers, do you ever feel like this? Any advice to others? You’re welcome to be part of the conversation. No expectation, but plenty of opportunity.

A Potential Danger

We're All Looking For This
We're All Looking For This

Finding your purpose in midlife is a beautiful thing. And it may be as simple as the exercise described in yesterday’s links.

As I was reading them and reflecting on them, it occurred to me why I still had a reservation about the whole idea of writing down, and re-writing until it made you cry, your life’s purpose. A brilliant idea, by the way.

It reinforced Mid Life Celebration’s approach as solid, valid, and important. I was very grateful for the opportunity to have my thinking challenged.

Here’s the secret no one wants to admit. While setting a goal as important as your life’s purpose is critical work, pursuing it with passion and tenacity for the rest of your life is a completely different story.

It reminded me of lofty and meaningful New Year’s Resolutions. They usually fail.

And that’s why this midlife blog is helpful to all of you facing an impending midlife crisis, or those of you smack dab in the center of one right now.

Here, everyday, you’ll find a small insight, tip, or story – in real time – to help you pursue your life’s purpose with passion and tenacity. Every day. Got it?
