40-65 year olds ... finding happiness ... and living lives of passion and purpose

How are you feeling about turning 40, or approaching 50 or even reaching 60? Probably like most of us you do not like getting older. We prefer to slow the progress of time, to stay young, and to avoid describing ourselves as middle aged or in midlife!

But being 40 and over is OKAY! It is much better than the stereotypes of being "over the hill" would have you believe.

In fact being over 40 and over 50 can be FANTASTIC.

Most of us simply want to be happy. That's probably what you want too isn't it, the way to happiness?

The great news is that even if you are not very happy now you can find happiness over 40, 50 and 60.

Whether you are suffering from mid life depression or have the empty nest syndrome or a feeling of "what's next?" ... or simply want to get the best out of your life and have a wonderful time, happiness is there for the taking.

A group of us aged 40 to 61 have proved it and we want you to join us in being happy no matter what ...

Does your age matter?

NO! It is what you do with your life that matters.
Celebrate your age! Make your birthdays brilliant. Have a great birthday party each year.
Step into life over 40, 50 and 60 and accept it with zest. I don't care how old you are - be proud of it. If you are 42, 57 or 69 stand tall.
Not everyone is lucky enough to make it to 40 or 50, so celebrate every year you are blessed with. And do it with pride. And do it with style. Make sure you have a birthday party to be proud of.
When I had my 40th birthday I celebrated for 40 days with 40 friends.
For my 50th birthday I celebrated for 50 days with 50 friends and did lots of things to do with 50, such as planting 50 trees.
I look forward to my 60th.

What midlife questions are you asking yourself?
Have you ever asked yourself: "What is the meaning of MY life?" or "What have I done with my life?" or "What am I going to do next?" Maybe you've been asking yourself "Is this all there is?"
Many of us ask questions like this. Especially if things have not turned out quite as we had planned.
It can be confusing being over forty, fifty and sixty, even for self-aware baby boomers. Especially if we thought we had all the answers in our twenties and thirties.
Rest assured you are definitely not alone. There are thousands of us in mid life who have struggled with such questions.
Many of us have also experienced unexpected crises or changes, myself included. Some of us are made redundant, or our partners leave us, or we can't sleep.
Or it may be even more fundamental than that, and we find our bodies are doing things that we wish they wouldn't. Whether it is osteoporosis, high blood pressure, the menopause, arthritis, flab or weight gain, ... or even hairs in new and unwelcome places, changes can take place that we don't like.
Maybe it is not any of this but just when you were looking forward to having some free time your children come back home, or your elderly parents need caring for, or you get sick.
Why does this matter now? After all, we have had issues to deal with before, but somehow now in our middle years it doesn't feel the same.
The real difference is that we aren't as young as we used to be AND time can seem to be running out. And that can bother us.
Take heart, there are ways to deal with the issues AND find an inner well of contentment no matter what your circumstances.
If you are searching for happiness you can find it. You just need to know where to look.
I still want to reassure you ... men and women in midlife can be happy over 40, 50 and 60.
Even if you have problems or are in the middle of a mid life crisis the keys to happiness are still available to you. And this page, our free tips, and the book "Midlife and Happiness" will help you find out how.

How you can be happy when you are 40, 50 or 60?

Your first tip on finding happiness over 40: Do what is important.

Most of us spend all our lives being busy and doing what has to be done without ever asking ourselves, "Are we doing what is important?"

When we don't do what is important our energy evaporates, we become dull and happiness eludes us.

Are you doing what is important or are you busy just being busy? Forget the trivial. Now is the time.

One way to find out what is important is to ask yourself this question, "If I only had 18 months to live what would I do with my time?"

Whatever your answer is, the next step to finding happiness is to work out a way to make it possible.

I ask myself this question whenever I have finished one major step in my life and it is time again to re-evaluate. You could do the same.

For example, once, when I was asked this question, the answer I had was that I would go and see all the aunts, uncles and cousins I had been close to in my childhood but I had barely seen since. I was a bit taken aback at the idea as the relatives all lived on the other side of the world! I also managed to make it hard for myself as I decided I'd take my mum with me and she was well over eighty. She also wasn't very enthusiastic at first and she took a lot of persuading.

However, I decided that it was important at that time and that I would do it. So I saved for it, organised it and did it.

Afterwards I was on an absolute high. It was the best thing I have ever done for my mum and for all of my family. I had brought them together.

Shortly afterwards my favourite aunt died only to be followed by one of my two remaining uncles, and now more recently my favourite cousin has died. How grateful I am I did what was important when it mattered and I didn't put it off.

How can you be happy over 40? By doing what is important. Are you doing what's important?

I don't mean the world cruise or just the major goal, but even each day do you spend your days doing what is important? Your energy will flow more when you do. And energy adds sparkle. And sparkle fuels happiness.

Do you feel that time is running out?

Let me tell you first, what I mean about feeling that time is running out.
At the time of writing this, I am nearly 53 years old. In the last two years or so, my husband and I have bought a steep block of land that we are rehabilitating to make into a sanctuary for local wildlife. A real sea change or tree change!
It came with a dud house with "lots of potential" (as the real estate industry would describe it) which we are renovating from top to bottom.
And I keep thinking, "Heck, we'd better hurry up or we'll never see this tree grow", or "What happens if one of us has a heart attack before we finish", "Or, will we still be able to earn enough money as we get older to fund it all?"
If I had been 30 when we bought the block I'd never have thought like this. But we've had friends die in their late thirties and forties, and now again in their fifties, and time running out is now a real factor in our lives.
We may be asking the same questions as we did in our 20s, but the answers now have a different colour to them. We now know that we are not invincible. We now feel more vulnerable.
Do you feel time is running out and you must make a go of it now, before it's too late? Or have you already given up and think you are too old, or too tired. If so, now is the time to get some more spring in your step and dive into a future with happiness.
Happiness? Yes! Happiness is there for the taking, if you look for it in the right places.

A second tip for happiness: Find older mentors

We all need people who can guide us, support us and inspire us.
For example, we might benefit from older mentors, people who are older than we are and doing what we'd like to do. Then we can look up to them and know what is possible and be inspired to reach our own potential too.
Or we might find people who are happy and content, who seem to have found what we are searching for. Then we can also find happiness.
Or people who have had similar problems to us but have overcome them. Then we can learn from them and overcome our own problems.
These people exist. They may be in the media or be your next-door neighbour or be a colleague at work. It doesn't matter.
Yesterday I met a lady who had just driven 3000 kilometres on her own, through very isolated parts of the country to get to a conference I was speaking at. I admired her courage. She inspired me to do greater things. Why? Because she was 86 years old. Even though her own her sister had not wanted her to do the trip - she did it. And did it easily.
It is mentors like these that can help you turn your life around and help you in your pursuit of happiness.
There are so many dreadful stereotypes about 40 and 50 year olds being over the hill. They are absolute nonsense! This 86 year old lady has proved it for all of us.

What's so good about being over forty or turning fifty?

Some of the great things about being in our forties and fifties are that:

We can let go of some of the pressures of our twenties and thirties.
We can find a greater acceptance of ourselves.
We can stop worrying so much about what other people think.
For some of us our responsibilities lessen as our children grow up and (hopefully!) leave home.
We can find a new sense of freedom.
For some of us the mortgage and financial pressures ease and we have more spare "cash" to spend.
We can come off the factory production line that society puts us on and do what is important to us.
Many people develop greater self-confidence.
We have greater life experience and wisdom to draw on in making decisions.
We have more choices.
And best of all we can find peace and contentment, if we just know where to look for it.

After all would you really want to be a teenager again and lose everything you now know?

A third tip on finding happiness: Read about men and women over 40

Reading the book Midlife and Happiness could be really helpful to you. Why? Because it could give you the insights you are looking for.

For example, here are just two of the comments other readers have sent to us after reading the book.
Hi Rachel, I have just finished Midlife, having borrowed it from the local library and loved it! There were so many things that I could relate to. I cried, chuckled and did lots of head nodding as I am focusing on enjoying my midlife as opportunities. Thank you for your inspiration. Now I am now buying my own copy and I would love your autograph in your wonderful book.
Joanne Payne, Inglewood, WA. 2nd October 2009.

"I really enjoyed reading your book. It is a great relief not to feel compelled to hang on to "youth" but to focus on how to be the best I can for myself and others in this great life stage (I am 52). Thank you so much Rachel - you have given me lots to think about. It is great to have something to set me back on a highly positive track as sometimes I slip off."
Sheila Norton, Frontline Management Co-ordinator, Bunbury, WA.
"Midlife and Happiness" is unique and you can't get it anywhere else.
It will give you immediate access to fourteen men and women aged 40-61 so that you can go inside their lives and find inspiration for your own.
These people have faced being over 40, 50 and 60 and have triumphed, despite all sorts of events happening in their lives.
And their stories are filled with ideas as to how you can do the same.
They are courageous and disclose all - these are not sterile, sanitised stories but gutsy descriptions of how life really is.
What is really special is that, just like you, they are not Hollywood stars, they are not rich or famous, nor have they done anything that made the newspaper headlines, (fortunately!).
Instead they are real people who live ordinary lives in inspiring ways.
They are people that you and I can identify with, laugh with, cry with and come out on the other side with, and be motivated by.
And once you know what you need to do and you have the motivation to do it - you are well on your way to lasting happiness, aren't you?

Who are these people I am encouraging you to get to know? They are seven men and seven women, from all walks of life.
I am one of the women who has written about her life and how I overcame my issues to find a deep sense of lasting happiness. I have disclosed a lot about my midlife journey, the decisions I made and the results gained.
The book covers many topics. Here is a sneak preview of the kinds of areas that you, your friends and partners will be able to read about and be inspired by:

Why spend $34.95 on being happy?

How much is happiness worth? You'd spend more than that on a new dress only to get bored with it over a few months, or on a new set of tyres for your car that wear out, or even on a trip to the movies and it's all over by the time you wake the next day.
How much would you be willing to pay to be inspired to change your life and to find your key to happiness?
And in case you are still unsure, here is a letter I was sent (unsolicited) from someone who had got the book ...

"Since November I have been struggling with depression and loneliness. I have lived in Sydney for years and have now returned to Perth to find that everyone I knew has moved away, that everything has changed, that I have no group of people I can call my own and no-one knows I exist. I have to fight depression each day. And then I got to read your book.

Your book was a cry for help answered. The relief to know I am not alone, the relief to know that others feel think-experience much of what I do. Some of the pages I could have written word for word. Ah! the relief. I have cried with happiness and I have cried with relief. There is sun shining in my future again when once it was dark with despair. Thank you so much Rachel."
Marcia Dawson, Ferndale, Western Australia.

A fourth tip for your happiness: Focus on the good things

Focus on the good things that you have now that you didn't have at 20 or 30.
Happiness arrives over 40 when we focus on the good things that we have rather than spending our time noticing what we no longer have, or hankering after the past, or moaning about our aches and pains.
Easier said than done when you are feeling low or unmotivated.
Here is a way to help you focus on the good things. Get out a notebook and start writing down 10 things you know now that you didn't know when you were 20, (when you probably thought you knew everything.)
Then write thank you next to each one.
Add to this list each day, then read it all at the end of each week.
Keep adding to this list each day for the next three months. This will help you focus on the good things in your life.
Gratitude is a key to happiness.

A fifth tip for happiness: Don't dwell on your hair colour.

What is wrong with grey hair? Nothing!

Does your hair turning grey bother you? Do you want to colour or reverse grey hair?
I don't know if you have noticed, but when someone dyes their hair, it can make them look older. Not from behind - they can look younger. But when they turn around and face you - suddenly the brown hair seems to clash with their face colour. It doesn't match. Then the skin and wrinkles stand out more.
Grey hair on women and men can be very attractive. Having a youthful, well cut hair style can make all the difference to how good you look.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to give up colouring your grey hair, not to have to worry about your roots showing and to still feel young and attractive.
I have deliberately kept mine grey and never regretted it. It's such a relief!
The colour of our hair is not where happiness lies. How much hair you have on your head doesn't matter either. Don't believe all those fear-of-becoming-bald adverts. Bald is sexy!
I was interviewed about it by a journalist, Dani, on radio station 6EB recently. Have a listen.
