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.

200 Pesos

I remember Mike, talking in front of 100 people, a couple of years ago, started off his seminar by holding up a Php200 bill. In the room he asked. "Who would like this Php200 bill?" Hands started going up. Of course, I raised mine. He said, "I am going to give this Php200 bill to one of you" Then crumpled the 200 bill. I was surprised he did that. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air and again, I raised mine. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his black shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air and still, I wanted to get the Php200 bill. "Folks, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease it's value. It was still worth Php200. Many times in our lives, we ...

Be Grateful

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to k...
