Are you worried about midlife?

Midlife doesn’t have to be a time of crisis. It can be a catalyst for purpose, impact, and growth. It is actually an opportunity to begin the better half of your life.

Bob Buford has written a good book encouraging the reader to approach the second half of life as a quest for significance instead of success.

 

Among the points covered in the book include:

1. A challenge to think about what you believe and to find the one most important thing in your life and build on that.
2. How to continue to learn in the second half of life.
3. Practical ways on how to regain more control over your life.
4. Questions to ask and answer as you "go in to the locker" and prepare for the second half of your life.
5. Find something that fits within the following 2 questions: What have you achieved? What do you care deeply about? 

Bob Buford provides the encouragement and insight to propel your life on a new course away from mere success to true significance—and the best years of your life. The first half of life is busy with "getting and gaining, earning and learning," doing what you can to survive while clawing your way up the ladder of success. The second half of life should be about regaining control and calling your own shots. Do not allow the second half of life to be characterized by boredom and decline.

Buford focuses on this important time of transition—the time when a person moves beyond the first half of the game of life. It is halftime, a time of revitalization and for catching a new vision for living the second half, the half where life can be lived at its most rewarding. Bob Buford believes the second half of your life can be better than the first, much better. But first, you need to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. 

As Buford explains, “My passion is to multiply all that God has given me, and in the process, give it back.” 

Are you ready to move into the second half of your life?
