7 Habits

• Our growth from infancy to adulthood is in accordance with natural laws. And there are many dimensions to growth. Reaching our full physical maturity, for example, does not necessarily assure us of simultaneous emotional or mental maturity. On the other hand, a person's physical dependence does not mean that he or she is mentally or emotionally immature.
• On the maturity continuum, dependence is the paradigm of you--you take care of me; you come through for me; you didn't come through; I blame you for the results.
