The Merry Morning of Midlife.
May 29, 2023
The onset of a healthy midlife is that moment when you fall into joyous relief that you don’t have to define the second half of your life based upon someone else’s definition of success. You’ve come to realize that “pursuing” happiness is not nearly as prudent as “practicing” contentment.
You’re also getting comfortable in your own skin...just when it’s starting to sag. You have come to a moment in your life when you embody the perfect alchemy of gravitas and levity, curiosity and wisdom, all while finally learning that you can become a beginner again...and again...and again.
And that’s when your U-curve of happiness starts to resemble your smile.
