Rebel Next Act

So Many Possibilities
Midlife brings a myriad of hiccups and sometimes the thin veil that prevents us from truly seeing all the opportunity waiting for us around the next bend - this is your next act…let’s go!
We get to this wonderful age and find ourselves with crappy stories, emotional scars and baggage that tends to skew our ability to think out of the box and pivot, shift, transform, grow and be bold
I am not talking retirement here folks - I am talking about the ability to keep living, contributing, evolving and exploring
Traditional passages are an archaic relic of the past - we are no longer relegated to follow the old fashioned ladder of aging - that is a load of crap - we have the opportunity to explore and create what the next steps will look like for us and we sure as hell do not need to end up sitting in a rocking chair knitting xmas baubles…unless that is what you want!
Next acts do not have to mean downgrading jobs, taking less pay, aiming for a lower level position to have more flexibility, etc - it can also mean starting a side gig, shifting to consulting, re-educating yourself in an area you are passionate about, starting a business and more
There are many doors open for you if you take the time to open yourself up to the possibility and opportunities hiding out in your creative rearview mirror
Reinventing yourself during this pivotal transition in your life and opening yourself up to your creativity and curiosity will lead you into the wilds of opportunity and growth
You have so many possibilities available to you and you do not have to end up at a cul de sac of despair and resignation
I have evolved through several ‘acts’ and in my heart of hearts know that more are to come - it keeps me alive and hopeful for my one precious life - have you thought of your next act?
Hugs,
