When a man moves into his 40s things change. His youth is behind him, and maybe he's mostly at peace with that, accepting and embracing a new season of maturity. Maybe there's still some conflicting emotions as his past recedes along with his hairline.
In this season he often finds himself wrestling with the deeper questions of life.
Purpose, why is he here?
Achievement, is he where he hoped to be?
Fulfillment, is he living and loving his life?
His mind turns to the future. The invulnerability of youth behind him, the responsibilities of middle age weigh on his mind.
His thoughts turn to deeper things like mortality. Achievements begin to focus less on on the now and more on the future. His legacy.
And of course there is the big question. The one I believe all men will contemplate at some point. A question born of his new found maturity and his changing sense of priorities and identity. A question that with have deep, far reaching consequences for his future and ultimately his legacy.
The BIG QUESTION.
Should I grow a mustache?
So it begins!
