Mid-life breakthrough.

To have reached our destination,
to have traversed the path, accomplished our aims.
Just beyond where we are is where we want to be.

As such, we are divided amongst our self,
forever thirsting for things just beyond our reach.

Although we long to have gone beyond,
the journey to freedom takes place right in the middle of the path,
in the midst of our own life.

The mid-life struggle is the mid-life call to being present in the life you have created,
and to put aside your thirst and yearning for things beyond yourself.

We awaken in the middle of life to the way things are, not the way they could be. 

Not the same thing.

Accomplishment and fulfillment are two different things.

Accomplishment is like consuming a meal.  You have the erroneous perception that you are full and you exclaim it with joy.  And in a couple hours you will be hungry again.  Spend your life seeking out accomplishments and you might look back at life and realized that you have indeed eaten well, yet thirst persists even on your death bed.

Fulfillment doesn't rely on conditions.  Not relying on conditions it doesn't make any sense.

Which means you need to move beyond concepts and mind.  Which you can do.
