like Roger Allen said on his website (do you know him? no? oh yeah me too, i just found his website on Google, though) he defines,
“Emotional maturity as the ability to make good, positive, healthy choices during the challenges of life.”
Emotional Immaturity
- Reactive (Life happens to me)
- Act out emotions
- Governed by habit
- Come from fear/scarcity
- “Have to” motivation
- Getting (self-centered)
- Seek security and self-protection
- Avoid failure, rejection, discomfort
- Separation/alienation from others
- Live in the past/future
so how do you defines 'mature', then?Emotional Maturity
- Proactive (I make choices)
- Act on emotions
- Governed by vision/purpose
- Come from love/abundance
- “Choose to” motivation
- Giving (other-centered)
- Step outside comfort zone
- Seek growth
- Unity/goodwill with others
- Live in the present
