Maturity is when you are able to confidently walk away from people and situations that are a threat to your peace of mind. 

Respect yourself enough to walk away from anyone or anything that no longer serves you or grows you.

Maturity is when you do not react to people lashing out. 

Don't fight fire with fire.

Maturity is when you focus on the good in people. 

Recognize positive character traits in people. Compliment them on their generosity, compassion, kindness, patience, honesty or fairness. When you take a moment to observe these, they will shine through in others.

Maturity is learning to let go and move on. 

Not everything will work out the way we planned it to. These obstacles are shifting us in the right direction, they will put us on the path we are meant to be on. Let go of what was and look forward to what is coming.

Maturity is when you cease to attach happiness and fulfillment to material things. 

Happiness is right in front of you. Your faith, family, friends. If you constantly seek happiness and fulfillment from material possessions, you will never be satisfied and will always be looking for the next best thing.

Maturity is when you stop trying to prove your worth to others. 

Your purpose in life goes far beyond satisfying critics.

Maturity is when you stop trying to change others and focus on changing yourself. 

We are ever-changing. We can always improve ourselves. Think about how much you could improve yourself if you spent the time that you do worrying about others and instead focus it onto yourself.

Maturity is when you have a lot to say,  but you choose to remain silent.

Remain silent in front of fools.

Maturity is when you stop comparing yourself to others. 

Another person's beauty is not the absence of your own.

Maturity is when you are truly at peace with yourself. 

Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions.

Maturity is when you stop seeking approval from others. 

Be confident in your choices. Do not apologize for who you are. Develop a greater sense of self-worth. Trust yourself and learn to accept yourself for who you are.
