"MID-LIFE BLUES"
Mid-life has hit the the Baby Boomers, big time! The thought of millions of Boomers in a mid-life crisis can unsettle even the most stable mind. Mid-life is the time when hard driving adults begin to grow weary of all their responsibilities. They can feel trapped. Boredom may kick in as they realize their goals. Depression may set in from goals that have not been realized and never will be.
Bob Buford calls this stage of life "halftime." In sports, halftime is when the teams regroup, catch their breath, go out and do better in the second half. Buford says that the key to getting through a mid-life crisis is shifting our focus from success to significance.
I propose that the key to lasting significance lies in meaningful relationships--relationships with God, family, and friends. It's found in doing your best with the gifts and talents God has given you. It's found in living life God's way, with Godly character.
Mid-life is a key time to get those things right, before the second half begins. If you're at mid-life, seek to shift your focus from success, to significance. If you do, your second half can be even better than your first.
