Middle age & beyond a time for what?

By the time one reaches the middle age it is good that she/he is already journeying towards or entered into a sort of integrated living. Integrated people have a gift of giving home feeling to all and particularly to those who are lost and have nobody to lean or rely on. Their deep seated search is oriented towards the possibility to further contribute to make this world a home; a somewhat better place to dwell. There could be also a set of people who have a different approach which comes out of dejection, despair and delusions. A brief outline of those two possible attitudes towards life could be:

One that of the Burn-out’s Pessimistic expressions:

While reaching the middle age some people with burn out tend to have the following expressions which may be surrounded by hurts, anger, disappointments and despair sometimes.

-Now it is time that I take care of myself and stop with minimum because I don’t have energy.

-I am getting worn out so let me not bother about others

-It is enough what I suffered so let me give up

-One cannot change things so be prudent to secure a comfort zone to protect oneself.

-Enjoy life as much as one can and that is normal

Response of the passionate Optimists:

-With the experience and wisdom gained let me proceed further to contribute in a balanced way

-If he is a believer what is that God expecting of me further from now on?

-I will continue my optimistic journey and do my part

-What else I could do and be to add beauty to this world and to my life?

Are you oscillating between these two attitudes? May be then you are healthy and on a journey towards integration.

Harmonious Integration is our destiny but believe it can be reached. So middle age can be time for creating home-feeling many people.
