We often hear of people hitting 50 and having a midlife crisis. The reality regarding midlife is that we likely hit that point in our 40’s based upon life expectancy. While that may seem depressing, it’s more a reminder for me to live my life fully. Since turning 40, I don’t believe I have experienced the cliche midlife crisis, but I have been more mindful of how I live my life; it’s too short to not focus on living a more fulfilled, happy life.
Life is too short to…
- Stop dreaming
- Hate
- Live with regret
- Harbor grudges
- Give up on love
- Be unhappy
- Feel unfulfilled
- Drink bad wine
What about you?
Tell me what’s on your list!
I think I had mine at about 30, and it was immensely exciting, because it coincided with my exceedingly late maturation process. Bottom line: we all lived.
Life *IS* too short, though – dance, dance, dance…
Whenever we hit that moment, Joe, it’s life altering. The “ah ha” moment when we realize life isn’t a dress rehearsal and we begin to live with more focus and mindfulness.
