Maturity is the capacity to withstand
the ego-destroying experience and not lose
one's perspective in the ego-building experience.
—Robert K. Greenleaf
Reflection
We have to learn to treat those two imposters success
and failure the same. Maturity is about achieving bal-
ance in our lives — this means emotional balance. Bill
Wilson wrote that few would achieve this but never-
theless the journey is about accepting our being as we
are and growing at the same time.
Affirmation
God, please help me to understand that being able to
accept the ups and downs of life as they come will
bring me closer to you. Help me to always know that
you are always at the center of my being.
