Midlife opportunity

Twists and turns are a fact of life. Lucky are the few who sail past life's roundabouts unscathed. However, even if we practice staying on a healthy path, we may still face obstacles that lead us to a crossroad around midlife.
Referred to as a midlife crisis, the changes both men and women undergo through the ageing process can be troublesome. Psychologists predict one in every three people will experience some type of mental, emotional, or physical crisis between the ages of 45-55. If it isn’t anxiety, depression, or the need to escape from everything in a red convertible sports car, it will be physical changes that cause one’s internal dialogue to sound like a hopeless broken record.
What can we do about it? Let’s first examine what it means to be in crisis. The Latinised form of the Greek word crisis, or krisis, means ‘turning point.’
This could represent a turn in our health, a change in our bodies, or a shift in our thought processes. Not all turning points are negative. Former US president John F. Kennedy once stated that the Chinese symbol for crisis has two brush strokes. One represents danger, the other opportunity. If you are at a turning point in life, it is important to recognise the opportunities available to you
