Well, of course, there's a,
Conflict at midlife.
Well, there's really conflicts at every stage.
Some of the Erickson's work on said every decade there's a conflict and it's how you resolve it allows you to kind of move on to the next stage of life.
And I think sometimes we don't think about midlife as much as, well, this is what happens when you're young and this is what happens when you're old.
And it's probably how you deal with what happens in the middle, which allows you to age well.
So when I talk about aging, most of the older adults I talk to, I'm not educating them on how to age well.
They're there and they're doing it.
It's often middle-aged people who are like, well, I have older parents.
Most people when they're 20 or 30, they're not thinking what my life can be like when I'm 70 or 80.
I think in a lot of professions, people are very driven early.
They have to prove themselves.
You're trying to survive, make money, make a name for yourself, and that puts a lot of stress on you.
And as you get further along, you might realize maybe it's not worth it, or maybe I need to backtrack, or maybe there's more important things.
It really does come down to balance.
And, you know, John Wooden, the UCLA basketball coach, I got to interview him, you know, he was in his 90s.
And he said, it really comes down to two things.
And I thought, oh, this is great.
You know, Coach Wooden is going to tell me, you know, the two things.
And he thought of himself as a teacher, not just a coach.
