Maturity
'It is a sign of maturity when we stop asking, What does life have in store for me? and start asking, What am I doing with my life?'- Rabbi Harold Kushner
Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change, the courage to change that which should be changed -- and the wisdom to know the difference.Maturity means dependability, keeping one's word, coming through in a crisis.
Maturity is an ability to have warm and intimate relationships marked by empathy and compassion. Mature people show emotional security, humor and insight. They get involved in the community and in causes bigger than themselves. Mature people develop the wisdom to know what they can and cannot control. They understand that they need determined self-discipline to achieve goals. They appreciate their responsibilities as much as their rights. They esteem themselves - and others - as people of worth.Maturity is not necessarily linked to physical age. People can and do grow throughout life.
Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or destruction. Maturity is patience. It is the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the long-term gain. Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging set-backs. Maturity is the capacity to face unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint or collapse. Maturity is humility. It is being big enough to say, 'I was wrong.' And, when right, the mature person need not experience the satisfaction of saying, 'I told you so.'
