1.) Being at peace with yourself:
one of the first steps to happiness is being at peace with yourself. No one can give you peace aside from God and yourself. If you have this at the back of your mind, then you’ll start having good peace, then people will realize how matured you are.
2.) Not seeking approval from others: maturity is doing whatever you want, whenever you want it done. No one has the right to question you aside from you.
3.) Learning to Let go:
to save yourselves and others, it’s sometimes better you let go. Let go of some people, fake friends, uninteresting people, bad habits etc. maturity is the ability to leave what we love doing that’s hindering us knowing or unknowingly to us.
4.) Stop comparing yourself with others:
it’s a total waste of time and energy comparing yourself to others. Everyone is unique in their ways. You’re wonderfully and excellently created by God, why compare yourself to others? This life is an examination, people fail it because they copy others not realizing everyone’s questions are far different. Maturity comes in to play if you realize you’re you can’t be compared to others by others or by you.
5.) Focus on changing yourself not others: before removing the wax from someone else eyes, why not remove the log in your eyes so you can see clearly. Change yourself first, everything will fall into place. Charging yourself positively can go a long way in shaping other people’s lives for better. You might be someone’s role model, someone might be looking towards you, when you change yourself positively, it affects the people around you positively. Maturity is the ability to prioritize changing yourself over others.
6.) Everyone’s opinion is right:
the number 6 can be 6 or 9, depending on your angle of viewing things. When one sees it from top, he sees 6 and the person seeing it from bottom sees 9, you’re both correct, it’s just the angle you’re both seeing from. So condemning someone’s opinion not matured at all, how will you feel if someone tells you you’re dull, that you can’t differentiate between 6 and 9? Some might even tell you ‘my kid at home is better than you are’. How will you feel?
7.) Differentiate between Needs and wants: your needs are far more important than your wants. Wants are mostly lustful and materialistic but Needs are much more your life. Prioritizing your needs over your wants is maturity.
8.) Give for the sake of giving and not expectation:
in a relationship, it’s best giving and not expecting nothing in return. Blessed is he who gives without expecting anything in return, for they shall not be disappointed. Everyone is not like you, you should give without expecting, some only know how to receive, giving is a big issue for them. You know what? You’re more matured.
9.) Do whatever you do for your own peace: please yourself first. Be at peace with yourself first. It’s your life, it’s no ones life. If you do whatever you want whenever you want it, you’ll see that you’ll be more at peace than others. That’s maturity.
10.) Accept people for who they are:
maturity is accepting people for who they are. You never can tell if that guy is doing his things his way not minding what people will say, he’s being matured in his handlings. So you have to accept him for who he his, moreover, it’s his life and not yours. Focus on yourself and not others.
11.) Material things don’t bring happiness: realization that materialistic things doesn’t bring happiness is maturity, the happiness they bring is temporary
12.) Show, not prove your intelligence to the world:
intelligence can only be felt and enjoyed by you and others if you show and not prove it. Truth always come out, no matter what is used to cover it. Maturity teaches you to express and never to impress.
Maturity is easier claimed than being attained. One of the best thing that can ever happen to a man is being given freedom to do whatever he wants because he’s been trusted by the society to be matured enough to handle anything.
Good day. How is your day going?
