Bank of Bad Habits?
“All our corrupt passions must be subdued, and a complex habit of virtues such as meekness, lowliness, faith, hope and love of God and man be implanted in their room before we can have the least title to enter into the Kingdom of God”. — George Whitefield
While George Whitefield suggests complex habits, may I be so bold as to suggest that we try to keep it simple?
Mid Life Simplicity?
Hardly. But the idea sure beats, Mid Life Complexity.

Pushy at Mid Life?
What a GREAT day to be alive!
Hey, thanks for reading Mid Life Celebration. Your time is very important to you.
Heck, mine is too.
And I devote a fair piece of it to Mid Life Celebration.
Why?
Because it makes me feel like I’m helping some of you mid-life folks find a home where you can come to for a gentle push or pull.
Finding people who care is a challenge. Sometimes, that’s all that’s missing. We just need someone to tell us not to give up. Someone to tell us there is work to be done and we ought to do our fair share.
Someone to remind us that although we may feel like in this world, we are just one person, to another person, we may just be the world to them.
We all know what should be done. But the hard part is actually doing it.
I’ve always liked people who pushed me to be a better person.
Hope you like those kinds of people too. There aren’t too many of them, but they’re out there.

Mid LIfe Mission Statement
Here’s a free resource for developing your Mid Life Mission statement

Surprise?
Second most common response?
Guilt.
I’ll bet right now that 99% of you reading this don’t have an answer that rolls of the tip of your tongue.
And the one percent that does have an answer, or thinks they have an answer – their answer will be so unprepared that you and I would find it difficult to clearly understand.
That is why, if you want to leave a legacy for the important people you love, I highly recommend you consider creating some concise, and inspiring, answer to life’s big question.
