Midlife Mastery Journal

Want some help? Here’s a little exercise that I’ve put together for you to help you to work through this transition.

You’ve been carefully trained and acculturated and even had it beaten into you that your worth is directly dependent on your performance and your performance will be judged by other people’s criteria and that, as a result, other people will always be judging you.

Ignorance of the risks you’re taking can’t in any way save you from them. To handle this situation effectively, you must have a knowledge and awareness of what you’ll be facing. If you’re a young man with midlife ahead of you, do you know what’s coming? Will you be ready for it when it does? The stakes may be much higher than you know.

So long as you remain solidly in your integrity, acting with honesty, care and compassion, you have no business getting involved in other adults’ business. Did it occur to you that almost everyone in your peer group is also going through a midlife transition?

No doubt, you’ll find me a powerful advocate for that mature, dedicated, purposeful, contented man inside you who’s struggling to get out. Every step you take down the road of Midlife Mastery brings you closer to him. Every drug you let go of makes him more real: more present.
