By confusing maturity with old age, which is wrongly understood, we deprive ourselves of the chance to fully use our potential, stopping halfway for fear that the best is already behind us. In a world promoting eternal youth, maturity has become a niche but extremely desirable skill. It is not a matter of age, but the ability to maintain calm, balance and authenticity. Maturity opens up new perspectives, allows for intensive involvement in life and becomes the key to continuous personal and professional development. Without it, as a society, we have no chance to develop, seek answers to important questions or resolve mounting conflicts.
