At Midlife Your Story is Only Half Told...
Many people "die" in their 50s and just aren't buried until their 80s. That's because they did not take the full journey available to them at midlife. The whole point of midlife is to allow - even force - a re-evaluation of who you are and the life you have created, giving you your very best chance to discover, realize, and actualize your deepest spiritual nature in everyday life.
