What is maturity you may ask yourself? Is it being a certain age? Is it the fact that grey hair is visible all over your head? Is it because you are living on your own? Is it the degrees after your name? Is it because you are driving a fancy car? Is it because you have become a parent? Is it the fact that you take home a big paycheck? Think again, because none of these come close to being mature. They are just some of the many things that grown up do.
Maturity, on the other hand involves our state of mind, our ability to make good judgement, to bring a plan to fruition, to be able to make decisions and be accountable for your action, to be deeply aware of your responsibilities to yourself and to the society you live in. To set a trail of high standard, honesty, integrity and morality in everything you do.
Many of you might have experienced maturity early in your lives. You might have gotten there because of the experiences that you gained as you grow older: the lost of a loveone, the heart break from a relationship, the lost of a job, losing your life savings, losing your home, just having your back against the wall. All these may be painful at times, they may force you to re-think your current pathway. You have no control about getting old, but maturity is the light that takes you to that next level in your life. That is when you are ready to live this life to your best potential.
