Affirmation of Maturity – A Bilingual Reflection on the Inner Voice

Words are not just content – they are also sound, rhythm, and energy that carry meaning.
 That’s why in this affirmation of maturity, I use two languages, allowing one thought to resonate more deeply and fully.
I let Polish and English intertwine, creating a shared space for reflection and calm. Let it truly resonate. From a scientific perspective, maturity is not just a sum of experiences or age – it is the ability for self-reflection, recognizing one’s emotions, and making conscious decisions.

Psychologists emphasize that the inner voice I speak of is the result of developing self-awareness and self-empathy. This voice allows us to separate impulses from values, pause for a moment, and choose what truly serves us. In this affirmation, maturity is not something fixed forever – it can fall asleep or get lost, but it can always be gently awakened. It is a calm certainty that whispers: “Hey, you know what to do, you know what to say. Don’t be rash, but be yourself.
 Don’t be harsh, but be decisive.”

The bilingual form of this piece strengthens the message – because no matter the language, we all seek the same wisdom and peace within ourselves. Allow these words—and their sound—to truly resonate within you.


Maturity has lived with me from the  start.It knows how to guide me toward what is good,and what might harm me.Sometimes maturity falls asleep for a moment,but I gently wake it up,whispering to myself-
“Hey, you know what to do,you know what to say.Don’t rush, but be yourself.Don’t be harsh, but be strong.”
Hey, you know what to do,
Hey, you know what to say.
Take your time, be true,
Let your heart lead the way.
Don’t rush, just be yourself,
Don’t be harsh, but be strong.
Find your voice, find your help,
You’ve been wise all along.
