One of the reasons people have a midlife crisis is because their lives have become mundane and boring. They want to stir things up a bit and so buy a new car, change their hairstyle, have an affair. And, no, none of these things work- or if they seem to, it is only temporary.
While most people struggle with change, we all actually thrive on it – and in fact, I would go so far as to say, it’s the very reason we came to earth. Yes, that’s right… to change! – How do we go about changing our lives? Actually, I believe that we all have some clearing to do in our lives – beliefs that no longer serve us; behaviors that don’t support us. When we are allowing ourselves to continually grow and are actually seeking means to constant growth, we can’t possible have a midlife crisis.
Think for a moment of some area of your life that you feel is stagnating. What one small thing can you do today to move towards making it be more of what you would have it be. That’s all it takes – just small steps. If you take one small step everyday, you’ll find yourself in a massively different place by the end of a year. And, you’ll avoid the crisis that comes from stagnation.
