A speaker describes midlife realignment, not crisis: the shift from living by external expectations to living by your own values and purpose. He calls it moving from the outside in to the inside out.
I found myself at a point where I understood that for all those early years, I'd lived life from the outside in. And most of us do that. We go to school where we're told to go to school with, hang out who we're supposed to hang out with, even marry who we're supposed to marry, get whatever education. And at some point along the line, and I think this is what happens with recall, it's not a midlife crisis, but a midlife realignment. And you start to realize that you've gotta live from the inside out. Mm-hmm. And you've gotta start to come to terms with purpose, mission, vision, and value.
