Midlife Crisis

Updated: Aug 16, 2024




Today, I’m thinking about what we call midlife crises. Often, when I do something outside of what society deems the norm, people accuse me of going through a midlife crisis, whether it’s getting a gold tooth, a new Gucci wallet, writing a book, or learning how to be a yoga instructor. From where I stand, it appears unacceptable to pursue our lifelong curiosities without a high degree of suffering. Meaning, you’ve worked your whole life, and at some point, you’ve gone a little crazy now that you’re doing these random things. In actuality, if we were to unteach ourselves the idea that pursuing random curiosity is strange and return to our original nature, which was so abundant during our childhood, we would be better off. When you were seven, there was no midlife crisis; you just did what you wanted. I personally believe that is how we should live our lives: doing what we want. Maybe what we call a midlife crisis is really a door opening or a path revealing itself back to our original nature. If we honor this opportunity, there is a possibility to regain the oneness and reverence for life we all deserve.
