How MATURE are YOU ?

Maturity is when you stop expecting anything from people because that's the primary reason why you get hurt.

Maturity is when you cry alone instead of crying with the whole world on social media.

Maturity is when you realize, You are never too old to become younger.

Your maturity isn’t decided by your age; it’s determined by how responsible you are for your attitude, actions, and outcomes as a result of your decision-making.?

Let’s face it, Wisdom really does come with age and experience.

The good news is, it also brings stability – and that’s something to look forward to.

Maturity is cultivated over time, as it is required for us to experience and promote wellness.

Maturity is the alignment of your truth, your wisdom, and your values. It is also the behavioral expression of emotional health and wisdom.?

Maturity is a continuum that goes from dependence to independence to interdependence.

Maturity involves being self-reliant, but also recognizing the value of working with others.

Maturity is not a fixed state, but a process of continuous growth and development.?

Maturity is not a function of age, but of the lessons learned from life. Some people may grow old without ever facing any challenges or hardships, while others may have to overcome many obstacles and difficulties at a young age.

Maturity is not something that can be measured by a number, but by the quality of our character and the way we handle situations.

Comfortable being alone: They are comfortable being on their own and don’t always need friends or people around them.

Accept differences: They accept that everyone is different and will have different opinions. They don’t need everyone to think or act as they do.

Emotional Independence: They are not dependent financially or emotionally on their parents. They tend to make their own life decisions.

Treating others right: They don’t put someone down or make fun of someone because that’s not how they get their self-esteem. They are already confident in themselves.

Taking responsibility: They don’t blame others for their failures and try to take responsibility on how to improve the situation rather than complain.

Listening more than talking: They have two ears and one mouth and they use them in that proportion.

Do you want to add a word or two?....

Honesty: They don’t try to deceive or manipulate others for their gains. They lay their desires on the table and its okay if other people walk away.

Mature conversations: They like to talk about deep meaningful topics about life and nature with a sense of wonder and curiosity.

Never clinging: They don’t emotionally cling to people and if someone isn’t the right fit for them they aren’t afraid to let them go.

Not chasing: They don't chase money or that new car or someone, they know where true happiness is; in the present.

Maturity is not a destination. It’s a journey.

You can’t say you were stupid in the year 2010 and now a well-mannered individual in 2021.

Because fast forward to 2025, you’ll feel you behaved silly in 2021.

Your comments ….

Do you think there is a certain age at which maturity sets in?

Could it be 20? 40? 70?

?

In my personal experiences, I've observed that age has little or nothing to do with it. I have met young people who are mature well beyond their years, and I've known older folks who act childish, only thinking about themselves.

?

So the question is: What are the character traits that show maturity?

And do "mature" people exhibit them 100% of the time?

Well, I'm not sure that we can be mature in every situation that presents itself to us because we are always growing and learning as human beings, and I'm pretty sure that all of us have been guilty of at least some of these negative behaviors at least once in our lives.

?

Listening more and talking less.

Being aware and considerate of others as opposed to being self-absorbed, self-centered, and inconsiderate.

I'm sure there are probably other signs, but my list covers at least the majority of them. I know we can always do a better job displaying our mature sides.

?

I also know that, by doing so, we lift each other up through our example.

What's most important, however, is?seeing?the negative side of our behavior and knowing we must do something positive to change it...And that, my friends, is WISDOM.

Wisdom and maturity?are two separate concepts that are closely related.

?

Wisdom means having a deep understanding of life and the ability to apply knowledge to make good decisions.

Maturity, on the other hand, refers to the state of being fully developed and having reached a level of emotional and mental growth.

Wisdom largely emerges from reflection on past experience. Wise people incorporate past observations and opinions into a more nuanced style of thinking—considering multiple perspectives rather than black and white options. Being open to new ways of thinking, essentially challenging the status quo, can be a hallmark of wisdom and help to cultivate it.

Balance is also a key component. Wise people generally act on behalf of the common good but also ensure that their own needs are met,

striving for harmony among competing demands and goals.

Wise people also seek to understand the motives of others, rather than merely judge their behavior. In addition to fostering understanding and respect of others, wisdom can provide a fulfilling sense of purpose.
