Midlife Is Like Playing On the Monkey Bars

Today I heard Alan Weiss use an illustration that I've heard before, but it made me think about how it applies to our journey through midlife. He used the illustration of children transversing the monkey bars on a school playground. How do you successfully get from one side to the other? You have to let go of the bar that you're on in order to swing and catch hold of the next bar! If you don't let go, you'll never get to the other side.

What are you hanging onto that you need to let go of before you can move to the next bar on your journey through midlife?
