Maturity: adapting to discipline and seriousness

Maturity is like a talent; some are born with it and some have to develop it. It is the ability to sense your responsibility towards something and also complete the same with full potential. It is realizing when to act all by yourself and when to wait for support. A mature person always understands the situation without anyone having to explain it to him. Above all, a mature person knows when to act disciplined or always acts disciplined in his life. Another aspect of being mature is seriousness. If you are a fun-loving, happy go lucky kind of person, who never takes any job seriously or fails to reads the seriousness of the situation, you cannot hope to be mature.

Discipline brings manners and etiquettes along with it. It displays how you are shaped and moulded into a fine personality. You look more professional and appealing when you are disciplined. Similarly, carry seriousness in another pocket of your pant before walking into the room. It’s not necessary if you are in a family function, you can just rely on discipline during that, but for a conference or meeting with your boss, both are necessary.

To be disciplined do the following things: –

• Be punctual everywhere. Being late is a sign of weakness and irresponsibility.
• Maintain your patience and silence. Talk only when you have to. Wait for your turn and never interrupt anyone.
• Be confident in what you say and do. Don’t be intimidated by anything or anyone.
• Show kindness and understanding. Don’t let anger or frustration drive you towards disaster.

How to be serious? Here’s how: –

• Keep your mind steady and free of chaos. Be focused on the task and only think about it.
• Make sure the responsibility given to you, is your only priority. Maintain a strict schedule and follow it to avoid any disturbance when you focused on your task.
• Don’t let past mistakes affect your present. You failed once doesn’t mean you will fail again, don’t give up. Look ahead and give you 100% for the task.
• Appreciate yourself after every task you finish. You need to know that you did a good job and that you have to keep doing it. That will keep your focus and maintain your seriousness.
• Be helpful and kind to others, especially those who need it the most. Understanding other’s pain makes us serious about our own life.

Again, maturity is not a fruit that you eat and gain its power. It is something that you learn from your experiences and analyzing every situation you have been through. Maintain your integrity to the above suggestions, and you can easily learn to be more mature.
