Everything on earth has its own time. And there are no shortcuts to maturity. most people says that women gets easily mature than men regardless of age and life experiences. The development of character cannot be rushed. like physical and emotional growth, takes time. We want to quick fix, the shortcut, the on-the-spot solution. Sometimes I feel I want a sermon, a seminar, or an experience that will instantly resolve all problems, remove all temptation, and release me from all growing pains. But real maturity is never the result of a single experience, no matter how powerful or moving. Growth is gradual. Sometimes I asked myself Am I slow learner? or I have a lot to unlearn? Growth is often painful and scary. Some says and I believe that my character is the sum total of my habit. You can’t claim to be kind unless you are habitually kind, you show kindness without thinking of it. I can’t claim to have integrity unless it is my habit to always be honest. I learn something today from my colleague. “God is never in a hurry, but he is always on time”. From now on I will bear in mind and always remember how far I’ve come, not just how far I have to go. I am not where I want to be, but neither Am I where I used to be. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient!

A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably
Infantile love follows the principle: “I love because I am loved.”
Mature love follows the principle: “I am loved because I love.”
Immature love says: “I love you because I need you.”
