“Mid-Age Crisis”

Hello again, and Happy Friday to everyone here and to your friends and families.

I didn’t post last week. Did you miss me? Well, I wrote, but I wasn’t feeling too comfortable with posting since the topic made me feel too strained and too tense. I scraped the whole blogging thing. This may be the sign of aging. Maybe I’m getting really mature in my blogging ability. Or maybe not. If my content doesn’t feel rich enough. I’m not posting it. Simple as that.

Experience comes with age in some things that we do for a life or for a living.

Old is for senior citizens. You get older each passing day, so older is more of a word I choose. Your age doesn’t get you automatically smarter, as some might think. It mainly states that you were born earlier or later, depending on who you’re talking to or comparing with.

I’ve come across many who think they are old, and life seems to stop there. This is in line with this old saying that “you can not teach an old dog new tricks.” Try this old saying. “Old brooms sweep the cleanest.” Yes.. place the blame on our most friendly pets and… brooms?

Age does not come with experience. I’ve seen older folks acting like children while some younger adolescents take responsibility head-on. So your age can lead you to retirement status, get senior citizen’s status, and get you to alcohol binging within the law. You may get married without your parents’ consent and the ability to move out of your parent’s home…legally. Your employer might have plans for you to hit the wayside so they can hire a much younger person to replace you. Your age is the real deal compared to old. Age they say is just a number, but repeating that you’re old will add more fuel to your already burnt out furnace.

Age or tenure in a company or business may bring you experience. It’s possible that you might need to learn a thing or two just to keep up with the times. For example, systems change. Technology advances. Employees get younger. I no longer feel comfortable telling anyone my tenue in my workplace. It ‘s just only shows stayability, not experience or smartness.

It’s also irrelevant to state how long you’ve been in a job or business. Experience is one thing. Knowledge is another. Knowledge with great results or praise is everything.

Speaking from experience. Just like many of you, I seemed to have been working all my life. I basically stayed in the same field with average pay. My mindset all along was to start my own business. Be my own boss. I’ve known a few people in my field of work who have the aspirations to start their business in the same field due to the knowledge that they gained over the years. To me, starting a traditional business is too “old school” for me. It still feels like work. If getting people like me to work for them just spreads disaster.

Tradition will make you or break you into the work, retire, then die syndrome. The tradition to stay “broke” due to cultural or family heritage or holiday tradition is just enough to keep you honest with the masses. Being average is so widely accepted in our society. So I don’t do holidays, but for Christmas on the biblical state of things. Not all the entertainment and shopping. Everything else is for those in their mid-age crisis.

So, never ask me how long I’ve been blogging. It’s irrelevant. Don’t ask how long I’ve worked at this nineteen year plus job. It’s not important how long I’ve been investing and being involved in marketing and business. All that matters is results.

So, as I’m writing this, I saw too elderly couples making it out in the movie theater. I was just shaking my head. Go get a room, folks. You are looking way too old for this in public. Here are folks looking old acting young. Gross. This is more of a mid-life crisis. And why are they watching an animation movie. Aren’t these movies way too young for them. Now look how’s talking. But at least I wasn’t making out.
