WHAT IS HALF TIME?

Our life is like a football game where there is a First Half and a Second Half.
If in the First Half, we play hard to score goals, at Half Time, we take a break to reflect on our success and to strategise our game for the Second Half. Similarly in life, many people arrive at mid-life having achieved some measure of success and wondering how they should live in their Second Half.
The accolades of success cannot silence their soul's yearning for significance. Bob Buford calls this stage of life "Half-Time", and those who search for significance he aptly calls "Halftimers".
Listening to the Gentle Whisper (pp. 25, 26)

"Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks
before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an
earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a
fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle
whisper." 1 Kings 19:11b-12

"I have not always paid attention to my life. To be honest, I only began paying close attention when I reached my early forties and found myself in a success panic. I was the president and CEO of a tremendously successful cable television company. I was fully engaged in a good and growing marriage. We had a son who was — there's no more appropriate way to say it — a prize. And, of course, there was something gnawing at me. How was it that I could be so successful, so fortunate, and yet so frustratingly unfulfilled. I knew perfectly well what I believed about business strategies and practices, family relationships, and the importance of friends. But I had not decided how I was going to reconcile all of these competing interests. And, as for the most important issue of all, my life of faith, I knew what I believed, but I didn't really know what I planned to do about what I believed. It was then that I started to wrestle with what I wanted out of the second half of my life." -Bob Buford-
