“Before every person lies a road that seems to be right, but at the end of that road death and destruction wait.” (Proverbs 16:25 VOICE)
Midlife is a time of reevaluation. By this time, we have worked hard to achieve what we thought would bring us happiness. Yet, we find ourselves asking: "Is there more to life?” Many of us project our dissatisfaction onto our circumstances. We pursue more temporary highs in the hope of finding fulfillment. We choose paths that seem right to us, but lead to more disappointment.
In the midst of a crisis, it is hard to recognize that what you are going through is not unique. Pulling yourself out of a pit is also difficult. Seek wise counsel. Even those who are intelligent sometimes allow their emotions to cloud their discernment. Examine your feelings of dissatisfaction. See where they point, and find healthy ways to address them. Thoughtfully navigating this tough middle stage can lead to growth while impulsive decisions can lead to destruction.
