Embracing the Process of Maturity



Maturity is definitely a process that one has to decide to allow. Another way to say this is a person must decide to grow up and embrace whatever it takes for this to happen. Many people abort the process of maturity because it is painful and unfamiliar. It is easier to stay complacent at one's current level of living than to realize their full potential. We get caged in by fear and it paralyzes us. It is a scary thing to leave the cacoon that we've been in so long. We've gotten cozy in our immaturity and don't want to risk the little that we have for the greater purposes that are found outside of it. The first sign of maturity is embracing the process of becoming mature. Recognizing that you are on a path that you can't turn back from because you are being compelled by something greater is a decisive moment in a person's life. No matter what comes your way you are willing to endure because you have an innate sense that there are others depending on you to complete the process.
