இன்றைய உலகில் அறிவுக்குப் பஞ்சமில்லை. பக்குவத்தைத் தான் அதிகம் பார்க்க முடிவதில்லை. பக்குவம் என்பதென்ன என்ற கேள்விக்கு அருமையான பதிலை சமீபத்தில் படித்தேன். இப்படி நாமும் பக்குவமாக இருக்க முயற்சி செய்யலாமே!
What is Maturity? (from Courage to Change: One Day At a Time in Al-Anon, page 63)
Knowing myself.
Asking for help when I need it and acting on my own when I don't.
Admitting when I'm wrong and making amends.
Accepting love from others, even if I'm having a tough time loving myself.
Recognizing that I always have choices, and taking responsibility for the ones I make.
Seeing that life is a blessing.
Having an opinion without insisting that others share it.
Forgiving myself and others.
Recognizing my shortcomings and my strengths.
Having the courage to live one day at a time.
Acknowledging that my needs are my responsibility.
Caring for people without having to take care of them.
Accepting that I'll never be finished -- I'll always be a work-in-progress.
