Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 What is Emotional Maturity(em)? The period from 14 to 21 is of emotional maturity(em) .many do not grow to tht Maturity at all.lack of em means u r always worrying ABT ur emotions;feeling as though you are a victim of ur own emotions,”oh!I feel like this! Wht to do?” Wht do u do? Who cares ABT ur feelings?! Y do u worry so much ABT ur feelings? You know ,we feel as though we r victimized by our own emotion!”oh ! I feel so bad….” U feel so bad,so wht?! U feel bad….and a little latter,it turns,and u feel good! Ur feelings keep changing.sometimes u feel bad,but it doesn’t stay for ur whole life! It turns and then u feel good,and then tht doesn’t stay for the whole time. U feel good then u feel bad again.nobody can stay,feelings bad all the time or feelings good all the time.these good n bad feelings come like waves.u cant stop a wave tht has already come,nor can u make a wave come just like tht. Isn’t it? Just as clouds and waves come and go,the emotions come and go.diff waves of emotion come n then they disappear! Making them into a big issue and complaining in our minds,”oh ! I feel so good….I feel so bad…..I feel this way….I feel tht way…..nobody cares for me…..nobody does this and nobody does tht” all this emotional garbage tht we put into our heads is useless! It is a sign of lacking emotional maturity. Wht is the big deal ABT ur feelings? I tell u to bundle them up and throw them up into the ocean! Then u can be happy! Then u r in good spirits! Just examine y ur spirit goes down………….. Somebody said something stupid to u- n ur spirit goes down. Now , y did they say tht stupid thing? They said tht stupid thing cause they had some garbage and they threw it out…….and u were there,ready to catch it, saying,”oh!I won’t give this away!” Y did someone insult u? They insulted cause they were hurt, they had garbage in them, and they wanted to throw it out. When they threw it out, u passionately grabbed it and kept it in ur pocket!”so and so hurt me! They did this,they did tht” Come on, wake up! Get up and walk! Don’t let ur smile be snatched away by anybody! In this world,not everything will happen perfectly,all the time! In every action there will be imperfections. Even the best or greatest actions with good intentions,will have some imperfections. Unfortunately,the tendency is to go and grab the imperfections and make urself,ur mood,imperfect; make ur mind imperfect, make ur soul reel in this non sense. Isn’t tht so? So we need to get out of this cycle be strong n courageous from within….and, tht,which gives u the strength, and the smile, is called spirituality. Anything tht helps u to become unconditionally happy and loving is called Spirituality. ---By H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji.Founder, Art Of Living Aseem Kaistha It's your attitude and not your aptitude that determines your altitude.
