The maturity level of an individual can be determined by some important traits exhibited by them in their daily life as well as difficult moments. Some of the characteristics one can look out for in himself/herself or people include:

• Adapting to Life’s Changes: one of the factors that can help to tell about the maturity of a person is how they adapt to the changing scenes of life. Change is inevitable, but growth, along with happiness, is optional. Life keeps changing, bringing with it, new people, a set of experiences and challenges for you. Although change itself helps you become more mature, to deal with it also requires some maturity.

Immature people show a lack of understanding of situations, by either showing resistance to change or behaving in their old ways. As a result of this, they fail to adapt in a positive manner, which brings newer challenges for them. A mature person, on the other hand, sees things for what they are and makes conscious efforts to adapt to the change. This helps them learn and grow and take a step further in life.   

• How they perceive and react to things: Different people take different time to get over things in life. However, no matter what the situation is, different types of maturity are required to prepare yourself to make peace with the job and look forward. Mature people challenge to let go of things, so that they can act in positive ways, to grow further with every incident.
• Decision Making: People who lack maturity often make decisions in haste, whether it concerns their career, relationships, or anything else. They make plans and take decisions based on their emotions and impulses. Mature people, on the other hand, look at life objectively and weigh the options practically before arriving at any conclusion.

It is important for all to make an effort to grow out of our current situation and strive to become better inindividuals in our endeavors. We must mature in our quest to live life and make the best of it. With maturity, hardwork, prayer and unwavering faith in God, we shall achieve dreams and live a more and better fulfilled life.

Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.  
1 Corinthians 14:20
