Your true mark of maturity starts when your security ends. That was the mentor’s advice to his grown-up student. The student calls his mentor apologizing for not attending today’s session because his father has just died. The mentor replied joyfully:” congratulations, only now you can be your own man.” The mentor hung up not waiting for his student response.
The context and the system you are brought up with have created a false sense of security inside you. Your parents, teachers, and institutions have conspired unconsciously against your maturity. They secured all the means in order not to grow up and mature. Because being mature and independent means that you will decide for yourself; you will stand on your feet and choose your destiny. That’s dangerous; it’s against their investment. But you are not here on this planet to fulfill anyone’s expectations; you would rather fulfil yours.
