Worthwhile Living

Hours turn into days,
Days turn into weeks,
Weeks turn into months,
Months turn into years.
Years turn into decades.

Then suddenly, you become alarmed.
But only if you have wasted the time.

Now you question, "What happened?
What have I accomplished?"

Wrestling with feeling worthless,
You throw caution to the wind and
You scatter your life
You throw all your cards out on the table,
Hoping to win at least one hand

But what if
You did not evaluate, criticize or condemn,
You saw everything about your life
as Worthwhile. 

A life well lived.

Defining a Midlife Crisis

Midlife Crisis:

The fear of growing old (time passing) without significant accomplishment. The illusion of living with abandonment (breaking chains of obligation and responsibility) in order to hurry up and fulfill dreams, purpose or destiny.
