MATURITY : RE-PAYMENT OF EXPERIENCE

How do you know if someone is mature or not?

“Maturity is not measured by age, it’s an attitude built by experience.”

Maturity is a key ingredient in reaching your potential. We need to develop maturity if we want to build healthy relationships, and learn to grab opportunities when they come. We need maturity in order to face life’s many obstacles head on.

But like any skill, developing maturity takes time and practice.

Maturity can be broken down into five different parts:

Physical: age, size, hand-eye coordination, the ability to move in different ways (walking, running, biking), etc.

Emotional: patience, kindness, the ability to manage anger, etc.

Ethical: the development of morals, the ability to be empathetic, etc.

Intellectual: school smarts, on-target learning for one’s age, etc.

Social: the ability to develop friendships, to share, and to cooperate, etc.
