The new midlife is where you realize that even your failures make you more beautiful and are turned spiritually into success if you became a better person because of them. You became a more humble person. You became a more merciful and compassionate person.
At midlife, you're pregnant with the best self you can be - someone who has learned enough from both successes and failures to add up to a fine human being.
I don't believe the United States is going through a midlife crisis. The United States is going through an adolescent crisis.
If you allow yourself to deepen with midlife, your experience of everything deepens, including your experience of God.
Midlife is not the time to disenchant ourselves. It's a time to turn on all our magic in full force.
