Maturity has for others become synonymous with “ I know it all”,
Self confidence, and independence, while childlikeness would mean being childish and immature.
Physically and emotionally we grow and develop from childhood into adulthood.
Unless, we are psychologically or socially underdeveloped, we should leave that childhood phase behind us.
Maturity also involves openness and further learning.
Sometimes, when we thought we have matured enough, under difficult and changing circumstances, we become weak, immature and childlike.
When we think we are weak and fragile and childish, then precisely it should be a reminder that implicitly and explicitly in our apparent weakness can be our strength.
Similarly, childlikeness can be a powerful attitude towards maturity and our progress towards development.
Be childlike at heart, yet Mature and strong!
