It’s back to work this morning for many people.
What would you do if you didn’t have to work?
Midlife Monday

You May Already Be There
“Know where you’re going in life, you may already be there.”
Do you ever find yourself in a quiet moment, wondering where you’re headed, and wondering how long it will take to get there?
And maybe, if your dream lasts long enough, you find yourself at your destination, astonished. “How did I get here? This isn’t what I wanted?”
We may have already arrived at our best place. Good health, only a few bills, a steady paycheck. Ample friends. Reliable things.
And yet, in midlife, if we aren’t careful, we might completely miss our exit.
An Old Ironic Habit
“It is an old ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way”. — Rollo May
I’m tempted to question myself. Why? Because many I talk with, think I’m crazy to believe that people will want to change if the right recipe comes along.
There is a secret recipe. Everyone knows it. But because we ignore it, it remains a secret.
The secret is, “work hard and find your purpose”.
Most people don’t want to do either. I certainly didn’t. Most of my life was, “Work hard, play hard”. That’s a catch phrase for, “Hurry up, we’re lost”.
Then I regained consciousness and started looking around. There’s much work to be done. The harvest is great, the workers are few.

Mid Life Fanatic
Mid Life Fanatic. Why yes, yes I am.
Why wouldn’t anyone want to be a mid life fanatic? Actually, why wouldn’t anyone want to be fanatical about life? Period.
Fanatical. Defined as excessive enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is just another word for attitude. Attitude is up to you. No one else. Period.
We get one chance to have enthusiasm. It’s the time between our birth and our death.
Ya with me? Seriously. Are you with me? Carpe diem 🙂

Mid Life Self-Discipline
Mid Life Self-Discipline. We may never be perfect, but we can be better.
Discipline is remembering what you want.
First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits or they will conquer you.
If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.
The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now.
If we don’t discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us.
You never will be the person you can be if pressure, tension and discipline are taken out of your life.
