Answer 1

The more you do, the more you learn. And everybody knows that knowledge is power. But learning does not come easily. You have to do things that you are scared to do; for some, it will be literally climbing a mountain. For others, it will be swimming the English Channel or learning a new language or touring through Europe with a backpack and nothing else, or going to a monestary in Tibet and devoting their lives to finding out the answers to the true mysteries of life. Growing as a person involves experience, be they good or bad. Let's say your girlfriend/wife/significant other (to be p.c.) has left you for another man or woman (again, p.c.)... Sure, it hurts, and sure, you feel like you've never felt before, just at the bottom of a well in the dark with nobody around to pull you out. But you find a way out, and you learn to steer clear of that particular well. You learn from your mistakes with that other person and apply that to your next relationship. Or if you want to grow as a stronger person, I guess you can take steroids, but know the consequences of that, because I don't want you doing anything illegal here. But good luck, smoke drugs, and I hope you find your answer. A great man once told me that "You will never find yourself, but someday, someone else will present yourself to you. Are you prepared for that?" We'll see.

Answer 2

You grow as a person through experiences and people you meet in life. Also, you must exam your actions. Think about why you did what you did. Was there a past experience that led you to that action?

You should talk to other people who you respect and get their thoughts on the issue.

Answer 3

Keep meeting new people. We have a tendency to interact with the same people over and over again. Those long-term friends are certainly important, but new perspectives help you stay out of ruts.

Volunteer group are a great place to meet people. Church groups offer new views too. Every group you participate in will lead to new connections and new friends. At the same time you get to spread your uniqueness to others.

Answer 4

Actually take something from the experiences of life, and just basically wanting to be a better person.

Answer 5

well of course growing older and wiser is always a part of growing. i think experience is a pretty key word when you talk about growing. you live and learn. do things differently if you did not like the previous outcome, or do them the same if you did like what happened. what you can do now to grow is change the things about yourself you don't like. don't panic, there's always time to change. (no matter what the bible says.)

Answer 6

I think what makes us grow are the trials and tribulations or trial and error of things we go through in life. Experience. You just can't snap your fingers and grow. You have to grow with "Time".

Answer 7

Life experiences are what makes us grow.
