Why You're Not Thriving In The Second Half Of Life

Welcome to Season 2 of Intelligent Intoxication: Crafting A Top-Shelf Life.    I’ve noticed a considerable difference between men and women who thrive in the second half of life and those who don’t. I offer my observations for your consideration. People who thrive: don’t try to rewind to the past by focusing on how much better it was and wanting to go back in time. They invest their time and energy into the present while planning for their future.  exercise, eat well, and sleep.  create and maintain meaningful connections with others.  tell themselves the truth about what they want, what they don’t, what they’ll tolerate, what they won’t, what they’re willing or not willing to do or be. are not attached to being needed - they’re committed to being wanted.  are making progress personally and professionally.  are or have been counseled and/or coached.  they don’t do what they don’t want to do.  don’t give or accept guilt trips. are willing to seek help and support.     I invite you to consider these questions: How willing are you to thrive? How willing are you to stop blaming yourself or others for why you’re not thriving yet? How willing are you to stop arguing with non-negotiables?   Thank you for investing your valuable time and energy into listening to the podcast.
