Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
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.

Here’s the test.
Are you challenging yourself in ways you didn’t know where possible?
(pause for thought)
Next question.
What if you did?

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?
