Is It Midlife Crisis?

"Is it Midlife Crisis?" is a question many people have asked at some time in their life. When looking for answers, one tends to search for explanations, any excuse to avoid the real questions. But when it comes to you, you are the one who should answer the question. It is your life and your alone. So why is it Midlife Crisis?


The simple answer is that it is an emotional stage that all people go through at some point of their lives. As we age, our emotions change as well our reasoning. Sometimes we become less compassionate, more self-centered and more egoistic. This changes the way we interact with others. We may be less inclined to help around the house, be more selfish and refuse to feel the warmth of another human being.

Is it Midlife Crisis if you feel you are growing older? Of course it is. But it does not necessarily mean that you are old. I was once with a friend who for years believed her age was in fact twenty. The ironic thing was that she was a year older than me!

Is it Midlife Crisis if you feel you are not achieving your dreams? Again, yes, it is. Unfortunately we all know there are limits to what we can achieve, but it is our perception of those limits that cause our anxiety. So many of us feel that by doing more with our lives we are growing further away from our dreams. But this only creates a sense of dread and anxiety about what lies ahead.

"How do I stop worrying so much?" This is the same question my friend asked me. She wanted to make sure her fears of aging were not growing with her. But the worry and fear went on as she got older and nearer the normal range of human life.

Is it Midlife Crisis if you find you have little time for yourself? This too can cause great suffering in your life. We live in a fast paced world and we sometimes feel it is too easy to spend our days working hard just to have enough to buy food and let us enjoy a bit of luxury here and there. The problem with this way of thinking is that we tend to neglect the simple pleasures and necessities of life.

So what is it then? Is it Midlife Crisis? It's our perception of life, which causes unnecessary worry and fear. We need to learn to let go of our age as we look to live more abundantly.

Is it Midlife Crisis if you have the right attitude? If you are honest with yourself about what you want out of life then you will be able to achieve it. Life doesn't end for you at sixty. You have so many years left to work hard for and you will be able to enjoy your life in your retirement years. Don't let Midlife Crisis holds you back from living the life that you deserve. Live for today!

Is it Midlife Crisis if I am not happy? Do you honestly believe that you will only be happy if you get married, have a family and have a big house? If you work hard at what you do and you still have stress in your life, do you still think that you are happy? Happiness comes from within. If you have inner peace and happiness, then happiness will find its way to you!

Is it Midlife Crisis if my family and friends are accepting me? This is the time where you are free to pursue your dreams and live the life you were meant to live. You can be who you are and love the person you were made to be. Your friends and family will accept you for who you are, without any qualification or opinions. They will see the person you really are and be willing to treat you as you deserve to be treated.

Is it Midlife Crisis if I am not having new things to do? New things keep bringing you into new situations and give you new opportunities to learn and experience. Your experiences and understanding of situations will continue to grow as you meet new people and learn new things. In the end you will always know that you are growing and changing in life and you will feel that you are always being called out to be an important part of something.


Is it Midlife Crisis if I am living in the now? The present is always more important than the future and the past. The future and the past can only be forgotten if you let them. Living in the now is more important than ever before and will never be forgotten.
