I think my middle Aged Crisis started when my father died when I was 37 in 1985. I went to India and Nepal and Thailand and Japan for 4 months with my family to try to move on from my father's passing. However, looking back now I realize leaving my mother alone and leaving her with us going to Asia for 4 months likely didn't help her any either. However, I was struggling to make sense of my life because I had always been very YOUTH CULTURE oriented like Surfing, Skiing, Mountain Climbing, OFF road motorcycles but also I was married since I was 26 years old when my first child was born too.
I was completely unprepared for my father's passing and didn't really understand how important my father was to my own psychological survival either. So, about 9 years after my father passed on my wife and I divorced partly because I wasn't really okay after my father passed on. Then I fell rock climbing after tearing my muscles of the back of my right leg and almost drowned in Cold Water near Big Sur. Then I tore my left Hamstring and had to drag my left leg for 6 months because I couldn't afford to get either injury properly fixed because I had teenagers to raise and get into college. Need I go on?
So, the middle Aged Crazy episode ended when I almost died for 9 months myself. I had to quickly get over my youth culture approach to everything and I became Grateful for every moment I had left with my family and friends and stopped worrying about getting old and dying.
After all, We ALL are going to die. It's just a matter of when. So, if you can just enjoy and be grateful for each moment you have left you are basically prepared for death every moment of your life.
I was just thinking about all the people having presently a midlife crisis because of Trump trashing their business or stock portfolio right now worldwide OR CAUSING THEM TO GET FIRED FROM THEIR JOBS IN VARIOUS WAYS.
This is a really awful time for many people that they might not survive. However, here's the thing!
NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
SO, WITH GOD'S HELP EVERYONE THAT CAN WILL FIND A WAY TO SURVIVE ALL THIS!
By God's Grace
