Insights and Advice for the Pursuit of Holistic Maturity updated Sept 16, 2016
The quality of our life and the quality of our contribution to the world are highly dependent on the quality of our maturity in every aspect of our being. They depend on the maturity of our thoughts, our knowledge, our skills, our perspectives, our understandings, our attitudes, our emotions, our relationships, and our behavior.
My goal in the final years of my work is to help high-potential people mature in all of the essential domains of their life so they can not only enjoy the most satisfying life possible, but also discover and pursue the life work for which God has specifically created them.
Below are some insights and advice that I have used with my clients, as well as some advice I used when I was a professor. I pray that my website visitors will find value from these ideas for their growth in maturity as well.
