“To be mature means to take responsibility for defining meaning in our lives, creating fresh forms of meaning via work, relationships, and feeling the fullness of existence.”
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
Being mature means realizing that it's up to us to find purpose and create a meaningful life. This involves really committing to our jobs, building and nurturing our relationships, and appreciating every moment. Imagine a person who loves painting. They take their passion seriously, work hard to improve, and build connections with other artists, finding joy and satisfaction in both their work and the friendships they form. This way, they feel their life is full and meaningful. By taking charge of what gives our life meaning and embracing our roles and relationships, we lead a fulfilling life.
