The Mid-Year Crisis


I call it Mid-Year Crisis.

And literally, this happens in the middle of the year.

Have you been here:

Anxious about the status of your career

Panicky about your financial status which is directly correlated to your, uhuh, Career

Forced to get married in the next two years because you're not getting any younger

Fretting over time lost where you feel you've been completely unproductive yet you feel so tired and restless

Pushing the panic button because at this month, you haven't really achieved anything from the goals you have listed at the start of this year

Felt so alone and no one cares to listen because (a) You're too embarrassed to tell any of your friends (b) You know from past experiences that your friends won't care (c) They are also experiencing the same crisis

Bring down the curtain and wind up that it is really hard to be successful in this life and it's just so hard to achieve your dreams so you better look for an alternative, Uhhmm, letting yourself off the hook.

Yes, I have been there. I recently posted a shout out in my Facebook Wall asking why a lot of people seems to be emotional, problematic or sad lately. This is probably because they are experiencing the same dilemma I was going through.

It was ridiculous really. And I knew it was insane. I talked to my mom whining about how my life went for the x number of years of my existence. She too knew I was being absurd.

And even though I was entwining my insanity, and this has been causing me a lot of hardship and pain, this mid-year crisis was sort of an experience for me.

I realized I've been becoming hard on myself. And this experience got me back in my feet. This is a realization that

"Hey, it's not the end of the world, things happen for a reason. You know that. And you know too, that everything's gonna fall into place. And as they always say, these too shall pass."

I don't like you to experience the mid-year crisis. It can be risky. You may have a hard time recovering. You may actually think and believe your own insanity. Tsk. That's not good.

But I do recommend you to check back with yourself and find out what's causing these issues. Stop being complacent and comfortable, do not be too hard on yourself and bring back the focus in the completeness of your destiny.

Look at your goals.
See if your behavior matches your goal.

This is the perfect time and not just because it's the middle of the year or half of the year has passed already, NOW is always the perfect time.

So what do you have in mind to make the rest of the year marvelous? It's never too late.

  3. jet my dear,

    if you will see life is most of the time unfair deep in your heart... things won't make easy for u. yes! you are right its not yet too late to gain yourself especially the FAITH.

    I've experienced so many (as in many) extra ordinary chaos in the past that even i have never imagine to be in that situations at all, yet i survived! Dear, God will never leave you nor forsake you. You really can not have it all the success in this life if you are measure success based on your own calculation, and preference. Things are not always on its right track from the start to the end. You are successful in your career, yet feeling empty. Me?! i am happy living in a simple life with my husband yet i had to stopped working and ended up making full time housewife as of now as my career... (well it sucks sometimes doing all the housewife things, and you feel stagnant in your career).

    My friendly advice... why don't you focus on things that you have... try to see the beauty of appreciating the blessings instead of looking/searching for you don't have yet... Then, pray the desires of your heart... keep patience and endurance to keep the faith...
    God does not assures us to answers our prayers right away... today or maya maya lang, or baka bukas, or bka next year or watsoever... Do not push yourself to cliff... do not push your own will... it may not align to wat God has plan for you dear. Seek Him first and you will find...

    count the blessings not the things you lack. only in HIM you can find rest. Trust me dear! coz i was into more than worst things you could imagine yet here i am before you... calm and unrest-less... because I allowed HIM to take and maneuvers all that i have, and don't have. -- ur fren, Abby Balala-Abul

  5. Thanks Abbhie, your note made me tears. I didn't realize other people went through more than I am experiencing. I know sometimes I have to be reminded and I appreciate friends like you who are there to touch me from time to time. It's been tough, really but I know I can make it. See you soon! I miss you too.

  6. Worldly life is crazy jet! it means you need to be tough at all times, and you can't do it alone... that's why there are friends, love ones and family to give you comfort and yell at you at times you forget to thank God for you blessings. Cheer up! God knows best for you! praying to see u guyz soon
