What is maturity?

I believe that having a perfect balance in life is a true sign of maturity. It is said to be the balance of the mind and heart, work and play, action and contemplation, passion and repose.But maturity also comes with experiences and the situations that life throws at the person. Its the general awareness and emotional stability that one needs to constantly work on,and maintain.
Here could be a few signs of maturity:

• Adaptability and flexibility to situations.
• Making wise decisions,that suit the circumstances. Coming up with alternatives ,even when things don’t actually go according to plans.Providing no scope for a blame game at all. Looking into what went wrong and trying to improve oneself in those aspects,for the purpose of betterment next time.
• Believing in self development and hence being an enthusiastic learner.
• Not discussing about people,and not judging them. Accepting them the way they are.
• Seeking opinions about things that one has got done.This is due to a belief in the fact that, varied opinions can bring out the best in something.Being more than happy to accept people’s take on it and implementing it if necessary.
• Accepting the failures and moving on,in spite of facing major disappointments in life.
• Being a giver,and not expecting anything in return.
• Staying calm and embracing positivity and optimism towards life.
• Being friendly and approachable.
• Being confident about oneself. Staying confident,no matter what people think,either good or bad.
