A sure Sign of Growth


I've been thinking about how we grow lately. As I've read and reflected, one thing I know, is that one of the sure signs of emotional maturity is the lessening of self-absorption.

Whether it's in a marriage or in a friendship, this is one of the hurdles that we rarely overcome. It's one of the secrets to the deep levels of relationship that we were designed to experience, but few ever cross the line that takes us into these deep cool waters. Once both individuals begin to wade into these waters, though, the rewards are instant, exponential and unexpected.

I've only known a small handful of people who live in that realm.
