You are mature…. If you….
You understand life is better when nobody knows anything about you
You let people win arguments to preserve your energy. You know how to pick your battles
You don’t need to be liked by everyone. Deep and narrow is better than wide and shallow
You are responsible for your own happiness. Not your kids, partner, or material possessions
You don’t have an opinion on everything because you don’t know everything (it’s not an excuse to be basic. Know most things)
You understand most people are not bad. They’re acting out of fear and anxiety
You learn from the past, plan for the future, and live in the present
You know you aren’t responsible for other peoples expectations of you
You know other people can’t read your mind, so you get better at communicating ideas
You don’t need approval from others, only yourself
You know the more you chase happiness, the more it runs away. You don’t chase, you attract
You stop listening to what people say and watch what they do
You know most people don’t actually want to change. They want to be heard and accepted because change is uncomfortable
You know you don’t need to react to everything because not everything deserves your attention
You know the world reflects your own feelings back at you
You acknowledge your emotions and know they are temporary
