Grow, evolve

At a fundamental level, we are influenced by our primal instincts.
As we progress in our evolution, we develop the capacity to filter and guide these instincts.
When someone upsets you, your initial reaction is often an emotional one.
It requires emotional maturity to move past these innate reactions and prioritize logical responses in challenging situations.
Emotional maturity allows us to step back, consider logic, and respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively. It’s a key aspect of personal growth and self-control.
