Achieving 50 years
It is not uncommon to experience a ‘mid-life crisis’ at 50. For some reason, the thought of approaching a milestone birthday causes you to look at your life subjectively in quite a different way to any other birthday. A lot of people believe they haven’t achieved enough by the age of 50 and for men in particular, they think that buying a fast car, wearing tighter trousers and walking around all day with sunglasses somehow makes this feeling of inadequacy disappear! Of course, I am joking, and also stereotyping, but there is not getting away from the tendency to audit our achievements at the end of each decade – maybe to justify our reason for being on the earth in the first place?
Success in different measures comes and goes throughout our lives. An eternal optimist could consider waking up every morning as an achievement – after all, look at the alternative! With that thought in mind we should embrace every waking moment to make sure they count – not just in a boardroom or in your bank account, but with the people who matter most to you. Make the effort to see friends you may have lost touch with or give your neighbour some flowers from your garden – small things that will mean a lot to other people.
A great success would be for everyone you know and love to spend time with you on your 50th birthday. Not only is it a great excuse for a party but it is a fantastic measure of how many people you are lucky to have in your life. There are some great 50th birthday gifts out there to buy but the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.
