Maturity: How Would You Describe It?

Maturity – how could you describe it? Maybe it is the ability to resist some small whims or need for immediate reward and better choosing the actions that will pay off some time later.

Maturity is also a well-measured persistence, knowing your true goals and seeking them despite of obstacles on your way. It is the ability to use your skills and knowledge and do more than is expected. And also it is having a sense what is worth fighting and what is not.

A Mature person is able to control his anger during conflicts or other unpleasant situations. He solves the occurring problems with constructive approach instead of complaining. He knows that he cannot control everything, thus sometimes you just need something to let go.

Maturity is also humility, when person is able to admit his mistakes, forget his pride and at the same time preserve his dignity. Maturity is your ability to laugh at yourself.

A Mature person is responsible and reliable. His words always go along with his actions. He keeps his word, so people know that they can count on him.

Maturity is also an ability to be flexible and being aware that learning and self-improvement are necessary along your way.

Maturity is being in permanent harmony with everything. It means that person is building harmonious relationship with himself, with other people, with nature.

Maturity means living in the moment, appreciation of simple things, being mindful of everything. It means that you are allowing yourself to feel gratitude of what you do have now, rather than to be looking back or forward.

Maturity is not competing, but sharing.

What Maturity Is….

Maturity is the growing awareness that you are neither wonderful nor worthless.

It has been said to be the making of place between what is. and what might be.

It isn’t a destination. It is a road.

It is the moment you wake up after some grief or staggering blow and think, ‘I’m going to live after all.’

It is the moment when you find out something you have long believed in isn’t so, and parting with the old conviction, find that you’re still you;

The moment you discover somebody can do your job as well as you can, and you go on doing it anyway;

The moment you do the thing you have always been afraid of; the moment you realize you are forever alone–but so is everybody else, and so in some ways you are more together than ever, and a hundred other moments when you find out who you are.

It is letting life happen in its own good order, and making the most of what there is.
