Tired of Repeating the Same Mistakes? Assess Your Maturity and Break Free

Feeling stuck in life, relationships, or faith? Ever wonder why you repeat mistakes? Identifying your maturity level holds the key to breaking barriers.

“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.” (1 Corinthians 13:11)

C.S. Lewis wrote, “It is not your business to succeed, but to do right. When you have done so, the rest lies with God.”

Reaching our God-given potential means moving through the maturity stages He gave us - from Unborn to Infant, Child, Adult, Parent, and Elder. Each involves acquiring skills.
Knowing your level provides a roadmap for growth. Understanding the stages sets an intentional path to blossom into your true self. No more acting like a little dog carrying a big stick. Evaluating maturity empowers you to live Jesus' abundant life.
Gauging your maturity also highlights "holes" in your development from things you may have missed growing up. Without this insight, it's easy to feel ashamed of immature responses without realizing vital ingredients for growth were absent. Identifying maturity deficits allows you to target those areas for growth instead of beating yourself up. You can fill gaps by learning new skills and mentoring relationships. Growth can happen when you know what's missing.
Additionally, maturity level informs suitable tasks. Rather than overwhelm with everything, focus on a few skills needed now. This prevents wasting time on later-phase items. Stay centered on your next step.
“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree...planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age...” (Psalms 92:12-14) Understanding your maturity enables you to respect your limitations. None of us have unlimited capacity. Attempting too much too fast without regard for your current ability leads to burnout and blow ups. Evaluating your maturity helps you recognize your emotional bandwidth and avoid taking on too much.
Handling your limits wisely builds trust and deep connection. Learning your maturity gives insight into why you may lash out under stress. This self-awareness helps you mature past destructive responses. You gain tools to return to calm when you get triggered. Your closest relationships become safer and more healthy.

This process also equips you to break negative generational patterns. Many unhealthy cycles trace back to immaturity. Seeing where you got stuck due to upbringing empowers you to grow beyond those limitations.
As you fill in gaps through assessing your maturity, your capacity to truly care for others expands. Early maturity focuses on getting your own needs met first. Evaluating your level helps you grow into consistently meeting others’ needs too. You move from self-focus to pouring into people around you. This overflow of compassion and service emerges from addressing your maturity.
