Midlife, Self Actualization & Growth

 

Is midlife is about self-actualization and growth?

 

Before midlife you seem to be just part of the crowd doing whatever is current and necessary to work, eat and survive on automatic pilot.

 

Then you come to midlife and say, “Hey, wait a minute, there must be more to life than this.”

 

Then the questions start rolling.

 

Who am I?

What am I doing here?

Where am I going?

 

The more technical the world gets, and the more disconnected from others or from nature you get, the more your focus has to turn to the Self and ask what your purpose here is.

 

There is a need for discovering the Self, the Spirit within the Self and the movement toward wholeness.

 

Who am I without outside influences?

 

There is a new phase beginning in your life, a reality check of self –discovery.  What are the triggers that open you up to this change of flow from outer to inner?  Is it a change in direction to reset your goals in life or is it time to step up your goals and the meaning behind your goals, the why’s and wherefores of it all?

 

Once the goal is determined, change can begin with determination, resolve, and discipline.  The Transformation can begin.

 

From this point forward the conscious mind needs to move over and allow the secret desires, goals and dreams that were buried or put on hold the space to come to the forefront.  Once excavated, these previously buried desires can fill the void.  Now the newly excavated information can come to the conscious mind to take up residence with the new goals, the new ideas and the new priorities in life, waiting for manifestation.

 

Now is the time for conscious growth.  Replace the broken record in your mind with new ideas, information, and goals for moving forward in life.  You need to see movement or stagnation sets in and submits to relentless routine with no room for renewal of energy that allows you to come alive again with the enthusiasm of a fresh start and a spring in your step, an empty canvas awaiting the fresh strokes of creative new juices flowing.

 

It is a sign of our times that the canvas gets filled with material things, like cars, houses, clothes, appliances that are bigger and better that the neighbor’s.  What is actually required is renewing the spirit.

 

Re-new

Re-formulate

Re-create

 

The new cars, house, condos or exotic trips cannot recreate the Self.  It can only cover up the symptoms calling for your attention.  This cover up leads to the need for recovery.  Recovering the emotional losses and recouping the debilitating loss of money in the process.  You have more stuff, less money and the same old routine.  Was there any inner satisfaction obtained or is the search and drive still calling?  Has the true, authentic self been satisfied by the realization of reaching your full potential in a spiritual, self-actualization that provides the means and the continuous flow of energy to renew its self?  The more it gives, the more it receives in return.   However, this can only work with a full cup that overflows, not an empty cup that has no energy left for renewal and lasting fulfillment.

 

Change your perceptions and make your dreams grow.  The more you resist change, the more you spin out of control in the chaos.  Go through the change, don’t be afraid of it.  Regenerate.

 

Make conscious choices.  This is a process of really growing into a maturity that you have yet to realize.

 

The SECRET is within you.  Not outside of you.  You need an outside view of your inner vision.  Create a vision board or mandala.  Use these as generators.  A vision board is a square canvas or poster board with four corners like a container.  A mandala is a never ending continuous circle full of flow and movement that continually revolves and evolves in a cyclical fashion.

 

Accept your Self in its entirety. Midlife can then become the most exciting time of all, with all of its potential.  You have the power to choose.
