What is maturity?
I'll let you know when I figure it out. ;-)
That's all I had on this page from 2018-12-29 to 2025-03-14. Recently I've realized I can articulate a couple things that I think signify maturity.
-
Striving to make things better.
-
Accepting that much of your life is outside your control while taking ownership of what remains.
-
A commitment to growth that translates into a habit of introspection and change.
-
Grieving the loss of certain dreams while retaining the courage to pursue new dreams.
-
Learning to forgive your past self and integrate with the present while striving towards a better future you.
-
A willingness to grapple with the hard questions of life and an unwillingness to settle for shallow answers.
I'm sure there's more I haven't figured out yet and probably things I've gotten wrong. I would like to revisit this and flesh out and add to my list.
