I’ve talked about a midlife reboot, proclaimed a midlife manifesto or three, and meditated on middle age long enough to grok the importance of a midlife leap rather than a midlife crisis. More like leaps versus crises…

But the adventure, one I originally anticipated being a tidy yearlong reflection (ergo 40×41), has proven to be far lengthier and more complex than I imagined. I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that I’m on a midlife quest.

I am searching. I am reinventing myself. I am changing. I am growing. I am in the middle of a Mid-life quest for identity. My identity wasn’t lost or stolen. My identity was simply hiding, waiting for the right time to show itself. I want to obtain my dreams… My dreams… are inside of my heart, waiting, impatiently waiting to be realized… I am simply trying to be the best me that I have always wanted to be. This is not a mid-life crisis. It is a quest… ~ Meredith Masony aka @thatsinapropro (Source: The Huffington Post)
