Middle Age Crisis

It’s only something we know as a concept for the first quarter of our lives. Something that happens to the other “middle aged people”. But then as you hit 40 and 45 and beyond, you start getting this feeling of insecurity and know that you are living it. So now, what about it? Should you be proud of the fact that you lived through what everyone lived through? No. Definitely not. Mature people are able to brace for every stimulus and are able to give a response that comes from awareness and thoughtfulness instead of sheer instinctive behaviour. The question you need to ask yourself is this - did you feel life was perfect at any point in time? When you were 6 you wanted to be 13. When you were 13 you wanted to be 18. When you were 18 you wanted to be 25. And even at 25, you wanted to live the life of 45 because you felt you deserved more. Finally, at 45, you want to be 25. And then at 65, you will want to be 45. And 65 when you are 95. The secret is in enjoying the present moment. Because each day is bringing something so unique and so beautiful that it will never come again.
