Three factors that define emotional maturity are:
Ability to Face Reality -- Acceptance
We have to stop denying that situations exist and instead move towards assessing the risks of situations and taking actions based on those risks.
Ability to Relate Well With Others
We must learn to
forgive others (and ourselves) and start making amends with people for what we have done wrong in the past. Instead of looking at people with a critical eye, look for the good inside them. Be compassionate, not critical.
Willingness to be Honest with Ourselves
We must be willing to do a
self-appraisal of who we are and what we want our of life.
So now it is your turn. What is your emotional maturity? Can you see yourself in the above statements or are there areas you want to improve upon? It’s never too late – whether you are 18 or 81 there are chances for you to increase your emotional maturity age.
