I love the comment: look at 50 like approaching college at 17 – so many choices and so much time . . . If I knew then what I know now -and to have the open mindness and the energy – mostly still there! I wouldn’t go back – it is great right now! Carol

I love your philosophy, Rebecca! The only difference between now and college days is our wisdom and learning from mistakes. Mostly the only difference!

At 50 look at your life the way you did when you were approaching college at 17. Your head has to be full of ONLY endless possibilities and “what next”.

I like how you have explained mid life and your recommendation of James Hollis’s book. I highly recommend it if anyone is going through their little crisis. Joseph Campbell once gave a nice definition of wisdom that is appropriate to this issue: KNOWLEDGE + LIFE = WISDOM
