“Ethical religion affirms the continuity of progress toward moral perfection.

“Turning 40 is often a big symbolic point in one's life. In the 20s we feel we can do anything, but as the 30s progress we become more mature emotionally, and in terms of work tend to focus. These two things combined: emotional maturity and career focus, often produced an explosion of self-purpose in our 40s.” TermFocusProgressEmotionalMaturityMature Author:Tom Butler-Bowdon
