Plans Leading to Maturity

This is actually a part II of my blog about maturity. The choice is always yours. It is a guideline to develop maturity and emotional status.

Maturity is this:

Responsibility and independence instead of dependence.

A giving rather than a receiving attitude.

Cooperativeness and feeling for the human enterprise, instead of egoism and competitiveness,

Gentleness, kindliness, good-will instead of hostile aggressiveness, anger, hate, cruelty, and belligerence,

The ability to distinguish fact from fiction.

Flexibility and adaptability, instead of awkward and stubborn resistance to changes dictated by fortune and intelligence.

Practice thought control. When you catch yourself starting a thought that will produce a stressing emotion like worry, anxiety, fear, apprehension, discouragement or the like, stop it and substitute thinking that brings a healthy emotion like courage, determination, happiness and cheerfulness. Maturity brings life in balance and harmony.
