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.
Midlife is not the time to disenchant ourselves. It's a time to turn on all our magic in full force.
If you allow yourself to deepen with midlife, your experience of everything deepens, including your experience of God.
I don't believe the United States is going through a midlife crisis. The United States is going through an adolescent crisis.
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.
