I believe that our teen years are spent trying on different persona’s. Whichever one we get “rewarded” for either positively or negatively will be one that “sticks” …or at least for a little while. In our 20’s, we are busy trying to attract a mate-again by using different persona’s that may or may not be aligned with who you really are. In our 30’s, we are focused on our families or the upward climb of our careers and we are “under water” with no time or extra energy to focus on who we are. In our 40’s we often begin to wake up and ask the question-“is this all that there is?”. In our 50’s we begin to explore who we are and begin an era of learning how to care for ourselves. In our 60’s, we enjoy leaning into the more spiritual or deeper side of the meaning of life and yearn to make a difference as we look forward to our sunset years and begin to feel settled about who we are. We have a new calm about ourselves and deeper sense of fulfillment in our relationships.
The truth is…you can have that calm “knowing” now. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to experience the calm and peace of your 60’s while in your 20’s and 30’s? Why waste time? Self discovery and building connections are two of the top drivers in our lives.
Let’s begin now by exploring some thoughts.
