Midlife - An opportunity

Are you sad, depressed, feeling like you have not the greatest control over your future or do you find your life boring? Approaching midlife is certainly more difficult for some. As a woman, you may have committed a huge amount of time to loving your children and your husband is a complete stranger. Are you a man that is wondering if you chose the right career path. Ohhh people told you life goes by quickly and you had better enjoy it. Did you listen? Are your kids getting more independent? Are you itching to travel and see the world but are not quite there in terms of retirment yet? Midlife can be a restless time for many and confusing too. But take this time to look at who you are and who the people are in your life that have been there for you and think for a moment. This is an opportunity to rekindle the love that you once had for your spouse. This midlife period is an opportunity for you to think about the next 10 years...Do you want to vacation, spend time with your kids, go to a rock concert? Subtle changs might be what you need. Be careful very careful to not make such drastic decisions that you will have a lifetime of regrets. Midlife is time for reflection. Midlife is time for change. Midlife is time for growth. Midlife is not time to abandon what you have known for so long...There is no doubt that you and your spouse may be "lost" together. But finding your way together may be the most rewarding time in your life...
