We can benefit by looking at how we each had our beginning as individual. Just think about it ; Not so many years ago we were a single fertilized egg cell smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. From that tiny beginning, we began growing within our mother's womb. In time our body was complete with a brain that thinks, eyes that see, ears that hear, and many other marvelous organs. How did this remarkable growth take place?
Our parents didn't draw up blueprints to produce us. Rather, this was all done within the fertilized egg that was formed by the uniting of a sperm cell with the egg cell in our mother's womb. In a matter of minutes, the plans were drawn up inside that tiny cell for the entire new human that turned out to be us!
In only nine months the single fertilized cell with which we began became a fully baby, an amazingly complex organization of some billions of cells. Our growth will never again so rapid! But about thirteen or fourteen years after our birth, we begin another rapid spurt of growth. At this particular time we start changing. The entire transitional period, which is known as adolescence, lasts for a number of years. It ends when we reach physical maturity, generally between the ages of twenty and twenty-three. This period is not the easiest in our life, but it is very, very important. It is proving ground for our future development.
