Ep 137 Midlife is Full of Tradeoffs on Your Journey to Joy and Fulfillment
Welcome to my takeaway from episode 136, my conversation with Sheree Clark. Here is a recap of the three key discussion points from my conversation with Sheree.
1️⃣ Courage is necessary to thrive in midlife.
2️⃣ Regrets can be valuable learning opportunities.
3️⃣ It's not about settling but compromising.
Life is full of trade-offs. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve said this, I’d have a lot of dollars just from saying this.
The truth is as we progress through our midlife seasons, we encounter more and more circumstances where compromise is simply a reality. The compromises are tradeoffs that have some meaning and purpose.
The more we progress through our midlife seasons, the more tradeoffs we end up accepting. These are compromises we willingly make for a specific reason.
So, my challenge to you is, you guessed it, what change have I reminded you of that you should consider making in your life as a trade-off that will take courage, and will give you joy or fulfillment?
