What is Maturity? 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 long term gain. Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project (or situation) in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging setbacks. 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. Maturity is the ability to make decisions and stand by them. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities; then they do nothing. Maturity means dependability, keeping ones word, coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, and good intentions... that somehow never materialize.
