Citas de la mediana edad

• Al llegar a la mediana edad, a mediados de la treintena o principios de la cuarentena, no estamos preparados para la idea de que el tiempo se nos puede escapar, ni para la sorprendente verdad de que, si no nos apresuramos a perseguir nuestra propia definición de una existencia con sentido, la vida puede convertirse en una repetición de triviales tareas de mantenimiento.

• Most of us abandoned the idea of a life full of adventure and travel sometime between puberty and our first job. Our dreams died under the dark weight of responsibility. Occasionally the old urge surfaces, and we label it with names that suggest psychological aberrations: the big chill, a midlife crisis.

• En la mayor confusión todavía hay un canal abierto hacia el alma. Puede ser difícil de encontrar porque a mediana edad ya está cubierto de maleza, y algunos de los matorrales más salvajes que lo rodean crecen a partir de lo que describimos como nuestra educación. Pero el canal siempre está ahí, y es asunto nuestro mantenerlo abierto, tener acceso a la parte más profunda de nosotros mismos.

• La gente puede llamar "crisis" a lo que ocurre en la mediana edad, pero no lo es. Es un desenlace, un momento en el que sientes una atracción desesperada por vivir la vida que quieres vivir, no la que "se supone" que debes vivir. Es un momento en el que el universo te reta a dejar atrás lo que crees que deberías ser y a aceptar lo que eres.
