It’s heartbreaking how this economy has wiped people out. Not just financially but psychologically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Now, many of us have been forced into making a midlife career change. Lets face it, at our age that wasn’t part of the plan. The financial aspect is one thing but the nonphysical elements that are affecting us is quite another.

Many who were “set” are now having to reinvent themselves and go back to work. Though this is obviously difficult there is something quite remarkable about it. People are finding their niche. We are trying new and different things. We are using our life experience and applying it in ways that are fulfilling. We are writing, blogging, changing the way we do business and reconnecting with people.

The truth is, we are doing things differently than we did them before. We have to. This is what is necessary for a paradigm shift isn’t it? The industrial machine has given way to the information machine, and it has been quite a wake up call.

Many are still suffering and struggling. That is why we need to correct these old negative patterns and support systems that no longer work for our time. As I tune into people right now the number one issue that is hindering our success and recovery would be not having enough energy to get started again. There is constant sabotage of negative thinking that is destroying the mind, body, spirit triad.

Structure is the key to support and with this triad not being able to maintain itself we don’t stand a chance. So, it’s time to resolve that issue. It’s time to clear up the barrage of negative thinking that is hindering our success.

It is now more than ever that we need to connect with our talents, gifts and skills. We need to clear the roadblocks and stop the negative internal dialogue so we can continue with new and creative endeavors.

The last thing we need right now is pity and sympathy. If we think of ourselves as victims then we will need pity, sympathy and empathy. We have already felt these feelings and emotions so it is time to free ourselves from them and not allow our energy to support such weaknesses.

This has not been an easy time and it may even get harder but, we don’t have to be a slave to such difficult times. Change is inevitable, so we must be able to change easily. Lets take the sting out of midlife career change and get connected with our true purpose. Then we can make corrections to attract others who will support our purpose and cause. Once we have connected with our purpose the rest our life will fall into place more easily. Lets make change for life easier so midlife career change will be just a bump in the road.

GOD BLESS,
