Phases Of Life Quotes

“In my early fifties, I was going through a phase where few things felt right and I was trying to figure out those that did. It was not uncommon. In your twenties, you pursue your dreams. By your late thirties and early forties, you hit a certain stride. Then you hit your fifties, you get your first annoying thoughts of mortality, you begin more serious questioning of not just the meaning of your life but of what’s working, what’s not working, and what you still want, and all of a sudden you don’t know which way is up. You thought you knew but don’t. You just want to get to where life feels okay again.”

“There is hardly any phase in your life where you can feel that everything is good. Life throws you surprises, sometimes it becomes a rollercoaster and sometimes things falls apart. The intensities may vary and so are your responses but every time you have to somehow work for reaching your equilibrium.”
― Mahendar Singh Jakhar
