ABOUT Midlife Star
Welcome to Midlife Star!
Hi, I’m David, the creator of Midlife Star, a blog that offers you real-world advice and assistance on the problems and possibilities of midlife.
You are most likely reading Midlife Star because you’ve reached middle age or midlife. You are probably somewhere between 40 and 60 and have a strong desire to change your life, brought on by anxieties about growing older or some other life-changing event. You feel lost, frustrated, stuck, or discouraged, but your dream of making meaningful changes or adjustments to your life seems out of reach.
Paradoxically, your job and family are probably well-established, and your children are nearing adulthood, and as you approach your prime of life, death awaits you over the horizon. And to cap it all, some people have probably told you that you’re experiencing some form of middle-aged turmoil or even a midlife crisis. The problem is that you’re not sure what to do next.
- How do you make sense of midlife and its challenges?
- How do you reconnect with your strengths, values, purpose, and passions?
- How do you make significant yet balanced changes to your life?
- How do you find what gives you happiness and joy?
My Story
I experienced the same doubts when I reached my 40s. The answers to these concerns grew even more critical when my first marriage hit the rocks, and I questioned the meaning of my life. I lost faith and spiritual connection, my father died, and I ditched my job out of frustration. And when I began to overcome adversity, I experienced a life-changing illness.
With persistence, however, I’ve transformed my life for the better. Sure, I made some dumb mistakes along the road, but I survived, and now I’m enjoying my midlife to the full.
Along the way, I learned some valuable life lessons, tips, tricks, and hacks. And that’s why I created this site, Midlife Star, to assist others in finding meaning, purpose, and passion during midlife.
Mission
Middle-aged people have a variety of challenges and opportunities in their lives, and Midlife Star’s goal is to offer practical advice and help on these challenges and opportunities via easy-to-understand information and training programs.
Vision
To eliminate the midlife crisis or midlife uncertainty by simplifying the process of living with meaning, purpose, and passion.
