How I did it: I realised I'm nearly 40, and too old for hangups to get in the way of doing stuff. I can't be bothered pandering to my fears and resentments any more, especially ones about other people. Let them be who they are. I've got dreams to fulfil, and you only live once.

Lessons & tips: Stop being and start doing. I.e. move your focus from what you are/aren't and think instead about things you do or want to do.

Resources: Having a mid-life crisis is a turning-point that has a lot to recommend about it.
