Hmm.. things to ponder..

"Life is different for the 30, 40, and 50 something's. Not everyone is living out the script they would have written for themselves. Their career had lay offs, missed promotions, and financial market meltdowns. Their relationships had struggles, broken hearts, and perhaps divorces. At that stage most people do not have the financial independence they hoped for and their nest egg is paltry. The positive and hopeful internal dialog of the 20 something has hit the reality that the world is not an oyster. Their schooling did not prepare them about relationships, emotions, money management, or how to get rid of negative thinking.

At this point something doesn't add up or seem right with the world. In actuality, the disparity is that the beliefs and emotional patterns we were conditioned with as a child don't work very well as an adult person with relationships and responsibilities. Our natural expressions of love and being happy has been drowned out. We are reacting strongly to thoughts from out past, even when those thoughts are not based in reality. We live in worry and fear of what others think. We might even notice the beliefs running our behaviors, decisions, and emotions that we learned when we were 8, are not good for paradigms for making a decision as an adult. Consciously, or unconsciously we figure out that the problem is not the world, or even us. The problem is the script of expectations we have been trying to live by is faulty. Instead of trying to change our selves, other people, and the world to fit our script of expectations, we begin to rewrite the script. We begin to change the core beliefs and emotional patterns we were socialized with and automated to follow. We seek a simpler, more authentic expression of emotions we experienced in the earlier stages of our life."
