“Maturity is both a static and a dynamic concept.”

(Leo Buscaglia)

OK, let’s finish our discussion on maturity (for now). It’s generally understood that mature people have a strong sense of who they are, separate and apart from others. They understand their need for intimate relationships, but they are not dependent upon others to give them their identity.

In this way, maturity can be said to be a destination -a place at which we arrive sometime in our lives.

The challenge is for grown ups to remain constantly growing. To do this, we must realize that maturity is not merely a destination; it is also a process. In fact, the essence of maturity is not only understanding who we are but who we may yet become.

Peace begins with pause,
