Young people have always asked the question ‘When am I Ready?’ Ready to drive a Car, get married, lead my group et al. Today, I will share with you six signs that indicate you are matured:
1. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
The day you realise that your life is your life and no one else’s and that you are responsible for the choices you make and that your success or failure rests solely on your shoulders, then you are mature.
2. STOP MAKING UP AND GIVING EXCUSES
Remember that Song Put the blame on me by Akon? Yea exactly, I’m sure you never knew it would make so much sense. Someone said the greatest inventions man continues to make are EXCUSES.
When next you arrive late for a meeting; you broke your dad’s Porsche screen while running around with your younger brother; burnt Mummy’s fresh made soup or you could not meet up with a deadline, without putting the blame on someone or something else but yourself, then I will know you are matured.
3. LEARN TO SAY NO
Do you know the most difficult word to say is NO? You see you have just said NO! Many young girls have become single mums because they couldn’t say NO. Unfortunately, no Academic curriculum will teach you ‘SAYING NO’ so learn to say no to whatever will offend your conscience. Stop trying to please everybody; You can’t please them.
4. BECOME A STEWARD
Yes, be a good manager of Time, Money, Gifts and Resources committed into your hands. If I had a sister, no boy can come near her until he becomes financially accountable,a good time investor and positive user of resources.
5. GROW UP
If your mum still does your laundry and make your bed, you don’t need to peer into the crystal ball to know you are not matured. Don’t ever let me hear you talk about being a big boy until you stop using diapers.
6. BECOME SERIOUS WITH GOD
I chose to discuss this last and large. Whatever you try to do, you won’t grow and develop until you have given GOD a place in your life. You will struggle with every other point until God, through Christ, becomes the centre and foundation of your life. The preacher captures it thus:
“But regarding anything beyond this, dear friend, go easy. There’s no end to the publishing of books, and constant study wears you out so you’re no good for anything else. The last and final word is this: Fear God. Do what he tells you.”
That is the conclusion of the whole matter.

Great post!
I agree that the truest measure of maturity is our relationship with God and our willingness to take responsibility to pursue His purpose for our lives and maximise our potentials in that pursuit!
No man is mature if he is still ignorant of who God is, why he is here and what he is capable of doing! Thanks for sharing!

You are a blessing. No man is matured until he can establish why he is here, leave the pursuit of all attractions for life’s principal aim and purpose and make a worthy venture of purpose in life.
