EP05: Finding Out How You Like Your "Lemonade" in Midlife

Scott Asmar: The Man & Everything In Between

One key takeaway from this episode is the importance of self-reflection. As we journey through midlife, Scott encourages listeners to ask themselves important questions: Are my needs being met? Is there a balance between work and family? Am I lonely? By taking the time to check in with ourselves, we can identify areas for growth and make positive changes.

Scott also emphasizes the power of consistency, persistence, and faith. These three ingredients can yield remarkable results in any aspect of life. Whether it's losing weight, excelling in your career, or fostering stronger relationships, being consistent and persistent is key. And don't forget to rely on your faith, whatever it may be, to guide you through life's trials and tribulations.

But perhaps the most valuable lesson from this episode is the importance of time. Scott reminds us that time is not on our side, and we must take control of it. Whether it's making time for our children, our spouses, or ourselves, carving out moments of connection and presence can have a profound impact on our lives.

Midlife is definitely a time of reflection and, sometimes, reframing. But it's also a chance to build on the wisdom we've accumulated to evolve in a positive way. Take Scott’s advice and “See everything.”

Quotes:

• “I usually ask myself a few specific questions. Are my needs being met? You know, is there something lacking that I need to be fulfilled within the day, within the week, within the month? Pick a self-check on that and identify if there's something there that's not quite right within you.” (2:51 | Scott Asmar)
• “Inconsistency fosters insecurity, and consistency equals security.” (6:36 | Scott Asmar)
• “Take time back. It's not going to come back on its own. What was yesterday is yesterday. What was an hour ago was an hour ago and it's not going to reset itself. Only option is to move forward, but stop and take the time back. Don't let it control you. You control the time.” (8:24 | Scott Asmar)
