Cracking the "Midlife Code"

We live in a world where the rules change.  As we hit  midlife, the rules change fast and furiously.

Here are some of the game changers I've noticed.

  • the older I get, the less I know.
  • the new mantra is "this isn't supposed to happen to me!" ( lose a business, get sick, get divorced after 30 years of marriage)
  • what happened to my investments?  What's going to happen to the vastly diminished investments I have left?
  • what am I going to do now?
  • Stats show that a boomer who makes it to 60 without any disease has more than a 50% chance of living to 100 and beyond. Therefore what does aging mean to those of us in our 40's and 50's? When do we become OLD?
  • Health care is broken…..what must we do to enhance our overall health and vitality?
  • Retiring or ceasing to work for pay is no longer an economic reality for me -maybe ever….what does that mean?

In truth, we're really still way too young to accept defeat and stop believing we can rewrite the future-our future at least.

We know that our world and the rules of the world as we knew it has all changed-dramatically.

We are being called to cultivate and develop qualities like never before.

Tough times are meant to birth us into who we really are meant to be.

Each of us has talents,  gifts and capacities that can't come forward until a time like this.

Crisis really means  crossroad, a threshold for something much bigger.

So cracking the midlife code really means letting the old ways of thinking and doing DIE.

All spiritual growth  is about letting go of old habits,old practices, old thoughts.

So stop asking "why me?" and commit to start choosing, then taking the right road for  you.
