Maturity Concept and Its Indicators

A person's level of development as a result of their experiences and knowledge gained throughout their life is referred to as maturity.

Maturity Concept

Public affairs and community service employees specifically are divided into several categories and intentions. While some are purely professional and useful, others are motivated by partisan or ideological agendas. However, a significant portion of them works from internal principles and motivations that are grounded in the love of goodness and kindness and fed by faith in the Lord's reward and punishment.

This last type is capable of continuity and permanence, and the institution and its employees in particular must exhibit other success-related traits and characteristics. One of the most crucial traits that employees must have is "maturity," which I would like to refer to in this article. By understanding several traits and signs that indicate maturity, as well as some of the pathways that lead to maturity, I wanted to convey to you here some of what was written in this context.

A Mature Person Has the Following Traits

1. They talk about concepts, not people.
2. They live in peace with themselves by understanding their strengths and weaknesses and coping peacefully with them. Also, they understand others' strengths and weaknesses, accept them, and know how to deal with the advantages they bring and cease to react to their harm.
3. They accept accountability for their deeds, regardless of other people's errors. Understanding that not all of the consequences of our actions are pleasing is crucial. Avoiding responsibility may give us a momentary sense of comfort, but it won't help us solve our long-term problems.
4. They don’t share their opinions with everyone and in all circumstances.
5. They don't associate themselves with constrained viewpoints and keep their mind open.
6. They are aware that in all moral and material circumstances, giving always comes before taking.
7. They don’t make decisions on behalf of others because the other party must decide after the mature person presents the situation impartially.
8. They don’t pretend perfection or make an effort to impress others with their intelligence.
9. They dispel doubts about their aptitude and fears or hesitations that arise in them.
10. They go beyond the notion that other people must concur with their actions.
11. They give up copying other people.
12. They don’t relate happiness to possessions.
13. They interact with the actions of fools and feeble-minded people and don’t raise the bar for what is expected of others, accept reality, always consider the public interest, and move forward without looking back.
14. They learn how to avoid people or things that endanger their sanity, their self-respect, and the principles and values they uphold.
15. They Know how to distinguish between needs and desires and how to put desires aside for the public interest.
16. They sometimes choose to remain silent, especially when interacting with stupid and ignorant people.

Tips to speed up maturity

It is important to note that age or gender has no bearing on maturity. Achieving mental maturity is largely influenced by life's experiences, difficulties, and responsibilities, but there are some ways to accelerate the process. Among which:

1. Be realistic, stop thinking about impossible things, and let your thoughts be realistically supported by proof and evidence.
2. Believe in yourself, as it will help you succeed and advance.
3. Practice dialogue because it helps you communicate your ideas clearly and calmly and improves your listening skills.
4. Control your emotions, exercise wisdom and composure, and avoid losing it when provoked.
5. Be in charge of your life's details, establish your goals, and face difficulties head-on with courage and resolve.
6. Overcome your fears and don't worry about failing.
7. Forgive others, abstain from hate and hatred, maintain your integrity, and accept excuses even if you are not persuaded by them.

After considering the aforementioned concepts, all public affairs departments must share these concepts with their staff and work to implement them across all cadres to achieve the best results.
