Our lives are journeys. We can consider ourselves mature when we have ceased to be a passenger in life and have become the pilot, choosing our own path. Rather than striving to meet others’ expectations of us, we are setting our own course.
When we recognize and accept our individual strengths and weaknesses, we become self-aware. We can tell the difference between a goal we might stretch to meet and a fantasy or dream. We make intentional and realistic decisions and choices, working toward long-term personal priorities rather than short-term external validation. We are able to gauge the true cost of our tasks, in time, effort, and money. The short- and long-term effects of opportunities we accept or reject are visible to us.
Adulting is only part of developing maturity. Ask yourself what steps you can take to enhance your personal maturity.
