Fighting The Days Of Middle Age

December 16, 2009 · Filed Under health 

Let’s face it. No one wants to admit that they are facing middle age. It’s like letting go of your youth and admitting that old age is right around the corner. We don’t want to admit that we need hair loss prevention remedies or that we might not have accomplished everything we wanted to yet.


As we tighten our belly belt in hopes of keeping middle age bulge far from our daily influences and we wake in the morning to stiffness and upper back pain, we are reminded that we are slowly entering the land of middle age.
We are supposed to be buying sports cars, having affairs with younger counter parts, or selling off our property in the hopes of moving off to a land of the unknown. Yet we show up at our jobs, remain faithful to our spouses, and we even still drive the sensible affordable car we know that we don’t really enjoy.

We know that we have not yet accomplished everything we set out to do when we were their age, and we pretend like we still might. Somehow we’ve made it unacceptable that our life as it is can be accomplishment enough.

In the end it’s all about who we were. It wasn’t about our salary or how many hours we logged at work. It’s how many smiles we brought to the world, how many tears we offered our shoulders to. I don’t think we have to stop any of that just because someone has decided that our life is half over.

Middle age signals that we are halfway there, halfway through our life expectancy. As though from here on out climbing downhill should be easier than it was to climb uphill we tend to act as though we have nothing really special to share or nothing really innovative left to do.

In such cases, we would be wrong. We are not bound to our greatness or our lack thereof due to our age. We are limited by our own perceptions of what we should be. Some of this we are still carrying from our parents. We are still trying to prove them wrong about us and prove to ourselves that we were right about us. We said we’d be something special. We are. The real crime is that most of the time we can’t see it for ourselves and we have determined that some highly unattainable goal is what will make us, in our minds, ‘special.’
