No wonder there are so many identity crisis in middle age ~ Jeff Brown

SOMETHING to PONDER:
The culture pushes young people too hard to define who they are before they have lived enough to know.

How can they know such things?

It makes sense that we want them to have a focus so they can meet their own needs,
but how to clarify true-path, how to individuate from cultural and parental messaging,
how to excavate their callings, before they have gone out into the world and gathered information
from their experiences.

No wonder there are so many identity crisis in middle age

• we defined ourselves from the outside in when we were young!

It may seem counter-intuitive in a pragmatic, survivalist culture,
but the young need to be encouraged to embrace
and explore their confusion wholeheartedly.

In the heart of the not knowing are the paths they are here to walk....
