For legal and policy matters, the government assumes a person aged 18 above a mature person able to make rational decision. Physical features and size of the brain are other factors that people consider when answering the question of how do you know you are mature. Put simply, your age, how you look or the size of the brain cannot measure the quality maturity in a person. The habits you develop throughout life are the only metrics we can use to gauge whether a person is mature of not. I have written 7 physical and internal behavioral signs that are evidence of maturity whether you know it or not.
You are Empathetic
You have lived life long enough to understand that other people feelings matter. Instead of demanding people to hear you out, you intentionally consider other people’s feelings and their points of views. Your empathy not only gives you a good stand with people but also heightens your intuition antenna. You realize that it is easy to know when things are right or wrong and when a person is lying or telling the truth. Although you have the ability to feel what other people are feeling, you depend on your intuition to make the right decision.
You are Accountable
You have realized the accuracy of the law of cause and effect. Whatever happens in life is an effect of a decision that was made somewhere else. Knowing this, makes you takes your responsibility seriously and with integrity. Every decision you make is deliberate and intentional. That is the reason time managements is an important asset to you. You meticulously select what needs to be done, by whom and by when. Understanding the importance of time management has opened your mind to the idea of collaboration because you know you can achieve more when many people are involved. Regardless of the success you have, you don’t expect to be praised.
You are able to identify your feeling and communicate them
Probably you once thought you can do anything you feel like but life has taught to control your emotion while at the same time communicate them. Right now, you have learnt the art of withholding emotion and sharing them at another time instead of bottling them up. You have understood yourself so much that you can pinpoint situations, people and thoughts that trigger your emotions. Although of have learnt your way through emotion, you still regularly engage in introspection and self-reflection because you have a desire to become a master at self-control. When it comes to sharing your emotion, you are straight forward and simple in your communication.
You have healthy and secure relationships
In a world where solitude is celebrated, you have an innate desire to connect genuinely with like minded people. In your search for friendship, you pick very few from the ones you find because you value lowkey and silent life. Once you find your tribe, you actively invest in their lives by constantly communicating to them, sharing with them, visiting them and participating in their life. You are comfortable to be with your close friends because respect and trust is highly appreciated within your circle. In the outside you might even be a celebrity on social media or a public figure but in real life you have restrained your friendship to few people.
You are Confident in Yourself
Throughout life you have worked on your personal, professional and spiritual development. By this time, you are solid about your identity and the purpose you have in life. Competing with others in a no brainer because you are living this life to fulfill a divinely planned assignment. You do not need to be on the spotlight to feel confident, you confidence oozes from within you because you understand your strength and weakness. Even if people do not celebrate you, you know how to cultivate inner happiness and the unrecognizable steps that you make for yourself. Investing in your personal and professional growth is a priority to you than being celebrated by others. You appreciate your growth by sharing in with other in humility. When you speak or handle your tasks you do in with authority because you understand that everything you do has been tried and tested and proved to be effective.
You are brutally honest
Many people know the truth but they are intimidated when it is communicated. You are different. You know that the truth is your friend and so you brutally communicate it even if it might hurt you or others. Your passion for the truth makes you feel like a misfit in crowded place that celebrate mediocre. Wherever gossip is happening you distance yourself or gossiper loathe your company. Loving the truth has been the foundation of your high moral values. You love dressing modestly, speaking with humility, and addressing disrespect. When the truth is violated, you stand up for it because you believe honesty is the light of the world. In your time for self-introspection, you carefully analyze the areas in your life and where you find dishonesty you remove it.
Life dictates maturity for anyone who wants to live a life of success and fulfillment. Becoming a mature person is not rocket science because its something all of us can become. Maturity is also not available only to certain people or age. Anyone can become mature if they want. Whether you intentionally or subconsciously do mature things, you have realized that life if comfortable with you are mature. If you are still struggling with the issues of life, read and practice the things I have shared and you could be on the journey to become the person you desire to be. The secret is practice and consistency. Good Luck.
