Okay, I have been dealing with this Mid Life thing for almost a year. So I suppose it is time for me to decide if this is my time to get old. Is it my time to make the transition from warrior to chief, wise man or elder? Yes it is, but if you ask me if I’m going to choose to make this transition then the answer is no. I’m choosing new rules to live by.
Rule Number 1: I’m going to make the choices I want to make with no apologies and I will accept the consequences.
Rule Number 2: Life experience has given me wisdom, I’ve earned every bit of it and I will use it as I wish.
Rule Number 3: The indifference I feel will no longer dictate my lack of decisiveness. I will aggressively decide, say, do, and think what I really want.
Rule Number 4: My age, as I grow older will never be an excuse. Well maybe age will be an excuse when it is convenient.
Rule Number 5: I will continue to learn and learn a lot. I will ask questions, try new things and I will still play.
Rule Number 6: I’m not worrying about the things I cannot change.
Rule Number 7: I’m not going to wait on anything, especially a “better life.” I’m going to live it now.
Rule Number 8: Bad language has its time and place, that place is here more than you might think. I’m an adult and willing to talk like one. Certain words add flavor and I’m going to use them.
Rule Number 9: I get to define who I am, I earned that right and you did not!
Rule Number 10: I get to make me happy not you!
Rule Number 11: I love people, I love serving people but sometimes I want to be an introvert and quite honestly that is okay. So please stay out of my way when I want the solitude.
Rule Number 12: I’m speaking my mind. The truth is brutal but necessary so don't get offended when I speak my mind.
Rule number 13: My businesses are not my life. I took the risk and I get to call the shots!
Rule Number 14: Sorrows; yup I have a few and all I can do is deal with them. If I need to be sad then let me, these are my sorrows to deal with and not yours.
