One helpful tip per day:)

A few days ago, I met a friend who suddenly told me she felt like she had no future. Just a year ago, she was full of drive and ambition. Today’s reflection might offer some insights—here’s how Fernando Gros views the midlife crisis:

  1. What truly matters is how we adjust our self-perception and continue evolving during midlife.
  2. The biggest challenge of this stage is that while the world pushes us to keep running, chasing achievements, and accumulating wealth, what we actually need is to slow down and reflect on our values.
  3. This means making difficult choices about how we allocate our time and who we choose to spend it with.
  4. Most importantly, we must think about what aging really means and prepare for it.
  5. Being more open to the world, reducing attachments and biases, helps us become less self-centered and better serve others.
  6. When we take the time to honestly examine ourselves and envision our future, life becomes clearer and more fulfilling.
  7. The first step is learning to let go of unnecessary burdens.
  8. By becoming lighter, softer, and more open, we can face the future with more ease and help those around us along the way.

前几天见了一个朋友,突然告诉我,觉得没有奔头。而去年此时,她还干劲十足。今天的这篇分享或许能解答部分疑惑,不妨看看 Fernando Gros 是如何看待中年危机的:

  1. 真正重要的是,我们如何在中年阶段调整对自我的理解,并不断进化;
  2. 中年阶段的主要挑战在于:当世界催促我们奔跑、追求成就、积累财富时,我们反而需要慢下来,反思自己的价值观。
  3. 这意味着,我们需要做出艰难的选择,决定如何分配时间,以及与谁共度这些时光。
  4. 最重要的是,我们需要思考变老意味着什么,并为此做好准备。
  5. 更开放地看待世界,减少执着与偏见,能够帮助我们减少自我中心的倾向,更好地服务他人。
  6. 当我们愿意静下心来,诚实地审视自己并构想未来时,人生的画面会变得更加清晰和充实。
  7. 迈出的第一步是学会放下不必要的负担。
  8. 通过变得更轻盈、更柔和、更开放,我们可以更从容地面对未来,并在旅途中帮助身边的人。
