The 6 Stages of Development

  • The cycle begins again with each new phase of our life.
  • These Stages take time to grow into and through.
  • Sometimes we get stuck on a Stage for a season.  Without a vision we get stuck forever.

  • Upside – There is only one way you can go.

  • You can make your own decisions and take care of your own basic needs.
  • Upside – You are no longer dependent on others; they are freed from that burden.
