| Stages of Life As we mature in life, our attitudes, values and character changes with age. You could say, we age as a bottle of fine wine. This process takes time and most people evolve through a series of stages that can be described in five separate categories. This section outlines the characteristics of each stage. You may actually display characteristics in several stages simultaneously, but your behavior will likely be centered in a single stage. Take a look at the characteristics in each stage and determine your primary behavior patterns. There is no right or wrong, better or worse place to be. Over time, you will notice an evolution to the next stage. You can accelerate the evolution to the next stage through prayer and meditation. Any attempt to prematurely leap to the next stage is the result of your ego wanting you to be someone you aren't. The result of your progression through these stages will be: - A reduced importance on material
- An increased focus on spiritual values
- Peace of mind
- A greater appreciation of life
- Improved mental and physical health
- A higher degree of patience
- A change in what is important to you
- The discovery of how to know God
- A vision of hope for a bright future
