Thursday Thought : Signs of Maturity

Age is no guarantee of maturity.

It doesn't mean that if you older, then u are more matured than the other younger person. It is also not a guarantee that if u are so good in doing things - that other people is less good than u.

U got what I mean?

Being arrogant shows that u are nothing better than other people even though u are richer, older, wiser, prettier or even owned a social media with million followers. So, why bother to waste your time showing off the true color when no one would care less about u or who u are. It's just showing that u are totally immature.

Maturity is not when we start speaking big things but it is when we start to understand small things better. I was lucky that by age, I am having more self control which is one of a sign of maturity. I am thankful to my past that I can now differentiate between being defensive or being more professional in handling any situation. I am grateful to my life that gave me plenty of free times for me to enjoy while I was young and free, so that I can now have a peaceful time to rest and relax. Small things matter. It means so much when u can understand and appreciate it.

Everyone has their part and parcel of life, experiences, knowledge, stories, love and even memories. That does not make us bigger than anyone else. That is simply our part given, loaned by The Almighty. Hence, we have no right to be so damn snobbish and conceited as we are just one small human being on this massive earth.

I've been there, done that. Stubborn & snobbish. Very passionate yet rebellious. I was young, very young and ambitious. I wasn't scared of losing, not even failure. I planned my journey very well but most of the time I did not manage to follow because there were always new challenges that excite me more. 

By time, when commitments strike, I choose to be on a safe side. I'm okay to accept challenges but I'm picky about it. Security in life is the main priority. I'm open for any new changes, ideas and opinion especially dealing with younger people who has passion. I prefer to have a more relaxing life and I really appreciate quality over quantity. Hence, my circle become smaller. But professionally, I keep my network as big. I don't argue that much over small matter especially silly things. I believe that everything has a good simple solution as long as we keep calm and deal with it. 

Then I realized - wow... am I being too old..? No, I guess I'm being matured.

I looked over the net and googled everything related..and I found this:

10 signs of MATURITY

1- Small talks no longer excite u
2- Sleep is better than a Friday night out
3- U forgive more
4- U become more open-minded
5- U respect differences
6- U don't force love
7- U accept heartaches
8- U don't judge easily
9- U sometimes prefer to be silent than to engage in nonsense fight
10- Your happiness does not depend on people but on your inner self

Actually there are more. More of the signs that make us realized that we are not too relax, not too lazy (to argue), not too patience but our maturity level is better than it used to be. We should then be proud of our self. We can tolerate with chaos with merely a smile. We can simply forgive and ask for forgiveness. We don't simply judge and we are positive about things.

One thing I realized about being matured is that we don't have to try too hard to please people but we prove it by the quality of our deliverables. That means we are confident in our self.

Yes, there will always be problems and issues. Sometimes things are gonna stress u but life is not always a bed of roses, aite? Keep calm and istighfar. Have faith.

We mature with the damage, not merely with years.
