Maturity is what happens when one learns to only give a fuck about what’s truly fuckworthy.

Maturity is the ability to control your anger and settle your differences without violence or resentment.
Maturity is patience; it’s the willingness to pass up short-term pleasure for long-term gain. It’s the ability to “sweat it out” in spite of heavy opposition or discouraging setbacks. It’s the capacity to face unpleasantness and frustration without complaining or collapsing.
Maturity is humility. It’s being big enough to say, “I was wrong,” and when you are right, never needing to say, “I told you so.”
Maturity is the ability to make a decision and follow through with it instead of exploring endless possibilities and doing nothing about any of them.
Maturity means dependability, keeping your word, and coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of alibi; they’re the confused and the disorganised. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business, and good intentions.
Maturity is the art of being at peace with what you can’t change, having the courage to change what you can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Maturity...is knowing what your limitations are...Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.

maturity is when you can finally ride the ups and downs of life without getting tossed around by them you don’t expect everything to be perfect you know change is a constant you don’t judge yourself when times get hard you live in gratitude you enjoy the good when it is here

Maturity: knowing where you're crazy, trying to warn others of the fact and striving to keep yourself under control.

Maturity means, too, an ability to take criticism and evaluate it. When it is not of value, when it is not constructive, but destructive, one can forget it. But when it is constructive one must accept it and try to profit, even though hurt by it. Perhaps you were hurt because a certain person pointed out a fault and you did not want that person to think you had a fault. But, if you are mature enough, you will accept the criticism of those you love and who love you and learn from it.

Maturity is when you stop complaining and making excuses, and start making changes.

To be mature you have to realize what you value most. It is extraordinary to discover that comparatively few people reach this level of maturity. They seem never to have paused to consider what has value for them. They spend great effort and sometimes make great sacrifices for values that, fundamentally, meet no real needs of their own.... Not to arrive at a clear understanding of one’s own values is a tragic waste. You have missed the whole point of what life is for.

maturity in a relationship is not expecting to always be on the same schedule.

Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration

I learned that if you work hard and creatively, you can have just about anything you want, but not everything you want. Maturity is the ability to reject good alternatives in order to pursue even better ones.

Maturity' really means: being very unsurprised by, and calm around, pain and disappointment.
