Officially ready to call this time in my life a midlife crisis. I regret the last 7 years so much lately. I feel like I had all sorts of opportunities and blew it. For whatever reason I don’t beat myself up about my younger adult life, I am 45 now, but from my late 30’s on I just look back and wish I had done so much more. Fear stopped me to some extent. Fear of failing, fear of losing money, fear of rocking the boat. Add in a little bit of lazy, a dash of cushy, and a pinch of listening to other people’s negativity. I also struggled with some health issues that slowed me down.

Did you have a “midlife crisis?” What did it involve? What did you do about it? Did you change careers? Buy a race car? Have a baby? Start a business?

If you are already on the other side, do you regret some of the things you did during your crisis? Or, was it a life changing wonderful thing?

I’d love to hear your stories.
