Tired of homogenized boring journalism? Yeah, me too - which is why I started writing all these blogs. Deep thinking of the news and how it affects our lives along with lots of humor posts and much more from my 24 blogs. A free to read online newspaper from Independent journalist blogger Denny Lyon. Sit back, relax, get informed, cook a little and laugh a lot.

Beautiful Illustrated Quotations: Self-Absorption: How Do You Find The Road Map To Spiritual Maturity?
Beautiful Illustrated Quotations: Self-Absorption: How Do You Find The Road Map To Spiritual Maturity?: "t's natural we all go through some degrees of self-absorption, especially when we are teenagers and young adults. One aspect of self-absorption is a strong self-nurturing in order just to survive and keep a sanity and balance in life. As teenagers and young adults we self-nurture to develop our individuality and separation from our parents so we can be independent once we start out in our new lives.
Eventually, Life calls us out of that self-nurturing as we learn to pull our attention away from ourselves and place it upon the people around us in our new families, children, our work place. We grow out of self-absorption over time.
But what about the folks around us who are stuck, finding themselves still self-absorbed long beyond the age of their 20's? How can we help them - or ourselves? We may be the self-absorbed person trying to figure out how to get ourselves past being stuck, wanting to take the next step toward greater maturity. We may be attempting to help another person in our lives to grow."
