You heard the term here first! \u00a0LOL<\/p>\n
Screw the mid-life crisis and the quarter-life crisis, let’s just call them our next life crises.<\/p>\n
What do I mean? \u00a0Well, it’s just what it sounds like, I’m trying to decide what to be next. \u00a0We go through many transitions in our lifetime, the obvious ones of entering the workforce, the quarter & mid-life crises of whether we’re doing the best thing for us, retirement. \u00a0Let’s not forget puberty, major relationships, etc.<\/p>\n
I think we have more of them than we used to, or than our parents had. \u00a0It was one mid-life crisis. \u00a0Now it’s a regular change-over event, a re-inventing of self from one set of circumstances to the next.<\/p>\n
I evolve spiritually, the rest of my world attempts to evolve. \u00a0Because the more I change on the inside, the bigger the discrepancy between who I truly am and what I do. \u00a0And the greater that divide, the more intense my cognitive dissonance.<\/p>\n
Hehehe, fun to use that phrase. \u00a0Perhaps it’s spiritual dissonance. \u00a0Or just personal dissonance.<\/p>\n
So I’ve been trying to figure out what career to move myself over to, in order to reduce this dissonance. \u00a0And then figure out how would I do it? \u00a0How do I switch practical paths? \u00a0The mundane world isn’t as easy to shift zones in as the spiritual one. \u00a0I can’t just make a decision and do\/study\/practice something else. \u00a0There’s this thing called a job, and it pays me (rather well, actually), and that puts a roof over my head, pays for food, clothes, pets. \u00a0Things that can’t just be tossed aside because I feel like doing something different.<\/p>\n
So I’m working on it. \u00a0Planning and figuring out where I’m going to go and how I’m going to get there.<\/p>\n
My Next Life crisis.<\/p>\n
You know the best part of the phrase? \u00a0It’s completely open-ended on how many times you can go through one in a single lifetime. \u00a0Yippee? \u00a0lol.<\/p>\n
Happy changing!<\/p>\n
