Acceptance 

[Prabhaker]

Maturity is acceptance of existence as it is.

[Joseph Maynor]

Maturity is growth.  We can model that as ascending the Spiral.  Or you can make up your own model.  That's a good idea when you have the best model.  And the best model comes from synergizing thousands of Perspectives.  That's why Shore of Reference is so important.  That's why Course of Study is so important.  Where I am today at 40 is not where I was at 30 or 20.  But you can grow faster than I did because you have access to information I didn't.  You don't have to be old to be wise.  Prove that to us.

I really resonate the definition by @Etagnwo, but disagree with his reasoning towards the end.
For me, there is a very important aspect of maturity:

The ever increasing capacity for non judgemental observation of what is happening inside you. That includes your resistance and your resistance to your resistance.

without the part about the conscious usage of the mechanisms of the psyche.

The point I am at clearly suggests that whatever may I discover within myself, another unconscious part pops up to steer me. The discovery of mechanisms is simply a re-formulation of whatever is already present. Re-formulation that hides half of existence from my conscious attention.

So, maturity to me is the acceptance of the equivalence between using and being used.
It is the acceptance of ever-present duality in which parts imply each other, forming the inexpressible singularity of existence.

Not depending emotionally from outside sources other than my body/mind.

To me being mature means having high conciousness and awareness and a detachment from the ego. Think about it, that's exactly the opposite of children
