Maturing is not living by reaction
Between what you feel and what you do, your freedom can grow.
Maturity shows when you don't always respond from your first impulse. You can feel anger, fear or enthusiasm and still wait, think and choose better.
That inner space doesn't come about on its own. It is trained with habits, advice, prayer and small acts of self-control. Each good pause makes the next decision freer.
Key idea
Maturity creates space between emotion and response.
Your challenge for this idea
Before an important reply, breathe and ask yourself what good you want to protect.
