The reality is that maturity is about accommodating dissonance, living with the unavoidable paradox that is always confronting us – we hate the folks we love, and love the folks we hate….we love our work, and also can become resentful and bored by it. Growing up means being able to hold both the light and dark of our lives and thoughts simultaneously. My encouragement is to not REDUCE the dissonance, but to seek ways that permit you to hold and accommodate it…because it will never go away.
