Maturity is using self-discipline to be consistent

An emotionally immature man would use external motivation to do a thing once or twice which leads to giving up later. But an emotionally mature man would use discipline to do things and keep doing it.

Emotionally Immature Man:

  • External Motivation: Relies on external factors like praise, rewards, or deadlines to initiate action.
  • Fleeting Effort: Might be motivated to do something once or twice but quickly loses interest or motivation.
  • Giving Up Easily: Struggles to persevere when faced with challenges or setbacks.

Emotionally Mature Man:

  • Internal Discipline: Uses self-control and willpower as driving forces.
  • Consistent Effort: Maintains a steady and persistent approach to tasks.
  • Resilience: Can overcome obstacles and setbacks without losing motivation.


In essence, emotional maturity is characterized by a strong sense of self-discipline and the ability to regulate emotions. This allows individuals to sustain effort over time, even when external rewards or motivation are absent. In contrast, emotional immaturity often manifests as a dependence on external factors and a lack of resilience.
