Your mid-to-late 30s are a time of reckoning: Are you where you thought you'd be? It's the time of our life when a lot of our idealism dies; because we realize that life is more complex and difficult than we originally imagined.

If your life in your late 30s *isn't* going according to plan, the danger is that you'll become cynical. That's what happened to me. My response to my state was: "Well, fuck it then!"

But cynicism kills progress. (https://justinjackson.ca/cynical ) It puts you in a rut.

There are two quotes that helped change my thinking. One from
@JamesClear, and one from Will Smith.Pokaż ten wątek -
"Every action you take is a vote for the person you want to become." –
@JamesClear The realization was this: even when life doesn't work out the way you thought it would, you can still take action, every day, to become the person you want to become. It's not too late!Pokaż ten wątek -
And from Will Smith: "If something is broken it's your responsibility to fix it. When you're in victim mode, you're stuck in suffering. The road to power is in taking responsibility. Your life, your heart, and your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility alone."

To move forward, I had to let go of my ego and my cynicism. I grieved my lost dreams. But then, I moved on. I focused on making progress towards new dreams, bit by bit.

Was it better that you dreamed? My late-30s life is not what I imagined in my 20s, because I wasn't even dreaming big enough. I had no idea what I was capable of or where the path would lead. It is amazing.
