The Four Stages Of Maturity
March 31st, 2007 at 11:55pm Manchild
Today’s post was inspired by something I read many years ago that tested my faith in God. It still amazes me how mere words written on pieces of paper could challenge me to “grow up” during a crucial age and critical stage of my personal development.
Stage 1: “Help Me” says an infant to its parents.
As an adult, do you always need somebody else to do for you what you’re still unwilling to do for yourself?
Stage 2: “Teach Me” says a student to its teachers.
As an adult, are you always looking for somebody else to teach you what God gave you the ability to teach yourself?
Stage 3: “Show Me” says an employee to its employer.
As an adult, do you always expect somebody else to show you an easier way to do what you refuse to learn how to do one step and one day at a time?
Stage 4: “Follow Me” says a leader to its generation.
As an adult, are you always getting in the way of your own hopes, dreams, and aspirations because you’re still waiting for somebody else to lead the way?
