"“It was as if I woke up at 29 and my life turned upside down. Everything I worked so hard to create for myself was suddenly falling apart. It seemed the harder I tried to save it, the more chaos I ended up creating,” my client says.
“At 29, you say?” I implore.
“Yeah. It was rough, and it went on a couple of years. It was the hardest time of my life. I never want to go through that again,” he says.
“But where are you now at 36?” I ask.
“Now I’m in such a better place. I picked myself up, moved out west, mended my broken heart through martial arts, went back to grad school, and got involved with a buddy of mine who started a tech start-up supporting refugee relief. The rest is history. I turned it around. I guess you could say I made lemonade out of lemons,” he said.
“Congratulations. Not many people do as well as you did with their Saturn Return,” I say.
“Sorry… with what?” he asks.
“Saturn Return,” I answer. “It’s considered your first right of passage into adulthood. It’s a term given to the period in one’s life roughly between the ages of 29 and 30 years of age. Generally, it tends to be a transitional and somewhat difficult phase, so you are not alone in your struggle.”
“You mean everyone goes through a hard time at that age?” he asks. ( I did ...big time )
“Pretty much, although not everyone has to necessarily,” I tell him.” It depends on where you are in your life when you approach 29 years of age.”
If you are in the right place in your life, your Saturn Return will be a walk in the park.
But how many of us find ourselves in the “right place” at that time? Some of us never find that place, let alone at the tender age of 29 years.
“How do you know what the right place is? Isn’t that the problem?” he asks.
“You don’t know what the right place is per se, but you always know how you are feeling about your life and those emotions are key to understanding where you are in your life.”
Your emotions tell you everything you need to know about where you are in your life. Are you listening to them?
How you feel is everything. If you feel good about a situation or relationship, then you are on the right path. If you are uncomfortable, undermined, underappreciated, unloved, frustrated, agitated, depressed or experiencing other negative emotions, then you are in the wrong place in your life. It’s fairly simple.
But how many of us listen to ourselves? We tend to run headfirst into situations that are destroying us and try to fix them. We have been trained on a “no pain, no gain” strategy but that hasn’t served us; it has only contributed to a culture of anti-depressants and addiction."
