4. The Ghost of Job or a Contract with the Universe

One of the most challenging ghosts we encounter at life's midpoint is the Ghost of Job. It emerges when we examine our deepest beliefs about how the world should work - the unspoken contracts we make with the universe.

What silent agreements do we make with life? How do we react when these imagined contracts are broken? From career expectations to relationships, from health to happiness - we'll explore the hidden deals we make with destiny, and what happens when life refuses to honor them.

"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." - Master Oogway
