First of all, who knows when mid-life is? If I'm 55 and I say I'm in a "mid-life crisis", does that mean I'm going to live to be 110?
8 track tapes have come and gone. They served a purpose for a time, but they don't bring value anymore. The concept of a "mid-life crisis", the easy label people use as a catch-all for so many things, doesn't solve anything. Not only that, but why should the transitions in our lives be considered a crisis?
I googled "mid-life crisis". There were 6.9 million hits. When I clicked on some of the links, it reminded me of the requirement to list all potential side effects of a medication. I couldn't believe all the different categories that were identified as possible signs of a "mid-life crisis". I did not see missing a dental appointment as one of them, but there were some listed that were just as out of line.
Go ahead, google mid-life crisis and see all the negativity associated with it and then come back here. We're going to have a great time that will just keep getting better and better! By the way, did you notice I didn't even give it the credit of a link? I don't think it deserves it.
This is the only time I'm going to give "mid-life crisis" publicity in my transformation discussions. This transformation is an awakening, an exciting part of our journey, and it's not going to get lumped in to some convenient catch-all that, at some point in the past, may have had value.
It's time to change our perspective and transform our lives!
Oliver Wendell Holmes said: "The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size." If we can be transformed in our lives and if changing our perspective can help that, how do we become aware? How do we recognize, seek out, be patient for the signs and know what to do? I am writing this blog to share what I wish I'd known, give examples that may trigger you and help us laugh along the way so we continue to live our best lives!
