“[You] …. behaved as the adult in the room. Told everyone what they needed to hear.” “I talked to…[you]… the other day. That is the most interesting conversation I have had in years.” “[You] …is a renaissance person, with so many talents and interests.” “[You]… has changed this community.” “In yesterday’s meeting,… [you]… seemed to be the only one who understood what they wanted from us.” “[You] …. is a person I admire. So free and easy. In harmony with the world.
You’ll be surprised at how little it takes to be called interesting or “the adult in the room.”
You do not need to become a saint to be more mature. And like any other process, you take small steps at a time.

We numb ourselves with empty entertainment, food or drugs. Enage in petty squabbles. Wallow in work or shopping.
We put in enormous effort to avoid thinking. We do, say and believe what everybody else believes. We let others make the decisions for us.
Is This What You Want Your Tombstone to Look Like?
Of course, you don’t.
“Too many people do not make up their own minds,” said Abraham Maslow, “but have their minds made up for them. They are prey for predators.”
These predators are often highly immature. Be it parents, politicians, priests, teachers, advertisers, employers, celebrities or – people on social media. And we let them run our lives.
If you want a life well lived, you have to be mature.
Be the alert driver in your own life. Live a considered life. Think for yourself.
But, most importantly: Add value. Be as useful as you can be.
Maturity is a life-long walk, with magnificent sceneries, stormy days and cosy shelters.
