Is Maturity the same as growing up? Maybe. I think a good number of decisions that we make as individuals are solely pegged on our individual levels of maturity. Does maturity reflect on an individual’s self esteem? I believe it also does, why, because people who are confident about their decision making influence a big deal how their self esteem levels would pick. Who is a mature person anyway.. “They are people who know how to prioritize others before themselves, those people whose agenda revolves around others and not themselves”
Acting with maturity does not mean that you are a know it all, or you even make the best of decisions, it only means that you are responsible enough to think through your actions which influence the maturity decisions you make. Maturity is being contented that even though you could feel right about something, it’s unnecessary to prove someone else wrong.
Unfortunately not everyone is capable of attaining this level of maturity. Where you are in control of the decisions that you make. Some have to go through tough life patches which makes then grow up faster, acquire early responsibilities and eventually enable them make mature decisions when faced with circumstances that call for such decision making. People who take responsibility and make decisions that are cushioned with high degrees of maturity like thinking of the outcome. Do you like the outcome, yes, then they decide to do or not to do, if they didn’t like the outcome then they also decide whether to do or not to do. When you think about the outcome most of the times that you can use to influence your decision making. Maturity is when you are able to distinguish between your needs and wants and choosing to let go of your wants, maturity is” when we learn to listen more, being considerate of other people’s feelings, and not taking everything personally without getting offended or feeling the need to defend yourself or even make excuses for your selves”
Maturity requires discipline, maturity requires making sacrifices even when you cannot, but you just have to. Maturity calls for being responsible for actions that you do and also being prepared for the consequences of that if any. Maturity calls for ownership, owning your mistakes, owning your responsibilities , your duties,, maturity also calls for guidance, seeking help when you feel lost or overwhelmed, maturity calls for acknowledging that you did wrong but can do better, maturity calls for providing support when you see someone getting lost or loosing their way, maturity is knowing when to say no and how to, maturity is knowing when to show up, maturity is learning how to communicate effectively and efficiently, maturity is being bold to stand up for your self and those that you care for,,,,, so many things maturity I could mention that can fill up pages, but the most important thing I can say is being mature is the best thing that anyone can ever be.
There could be a few backslides because we are again human, and we may act out of our maturity lines, and when this happens and it’s pointed out for us, because maybe we did not notice, maturity would be understanding what went wrong, and being bold to acknowledge and make the necessary changes if called upon. Afterall maturity is appreciating the fact that we are humans and we can slip once in a while but can also get back on track.
No one teaches anyone to be mature, maybe life can, but no school teaches one to. It’s the individual desire to be mature, the individual desire to want to make mature decisions, mature actions after all it’s only you who would be happy with the outcomes. When you are intentional about every action you take and every decision you make and ensuring you do it without being forced but actually within your desires of wanting to be better, then thats just maturity……..
