As individuals, we should hold high standards for ourselves. This includes setting having true adult-level maturity. Sure some adults aren’t so mature, but generally speaking, the more years you live, the more experience you have, and with that the more maturity that comes.
So why is maturity important? Maturity is essential to a high-value person because you can get through tough situations more easily, and others can depend on you and trust you. There are a whole lot of benefits from being mature and other people can sense it through your actions.
What does it mean to be mature? I believe that being mature means you are competent and wise enough to make the best choices. Being mature doesn’t only mean being knowledgeable, it means being wise. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing to not put it in a fruit salad. In short, being mature is having the capability to make the right choices consistently.
How do we become more mature? To become more mature we must first surround ourselves with other mature people and gain knowledge from them. Next, we must dive head-first into uncomfortable situations. After we have done these things, we will be left with a whole lot of problems to solve. We use our logic and heart accompanied by the opinion of other wise people and make tough decisions that might or might not solve the issues. This process will most likely hurt but in the end, you will be stronger and more mature if done correctly. Learning from experience forges maturity.
