How Can I Grow As a Person?

When I was younger and hear people using the word, “grow up” to mature people I do wonder how can I grow as a person? If a mature person can be told to grow up does that mean that it is a different kind of growth? All these questions were always running through my mind until one day when I decided to research and that was how I was able to get my answers.

So in this article, if you are also asking yourself “how can I grow as a person” then don’t worry because I am going to share my research with you so stay with me.

What does it mean to grow as a person?

To grow as a person means to improve your level of understanding about life. That is to say, if you discover that what you did to someone is wrong, you apologize and then move on and ensure not to try it again. It also means if someone wronged you, growing up means you forgive the person and keep going with your life instead of putting the person in your heart.

Growing up as a person also means you learn from your mistake and you stand up for what you know is right.

Many people have different meaning and understanding of what growing up as a person means but no matter their understanding, it all still result in being able to differentiate between right and wrong.

Can you feel yourself growing?

You may not feel yourself growing but you will notice that you are growing both physically and emotionally. Your level of understanding about life will change and the way you react or decide on things will also change. Those are signs that you are growing as a person.

How can I grow as a person?

There are a lot of ways to grow as a person below here, we will be discussing on few of them that will help you.

1 Think before you act: kids react according to how they feel so if you want to grow as a person, you must reason very well before you react or decide on the next move to avoid you regretting it later.

2 Fix your temper: we all have a temper but the way we choose to handle things when we are angry defines who we are if we are growing or still behaving as a kid. No matter your temper, never act according to it. For example, if you are in a hot temper, ensure that you try and work on it not to change it completely but to put it in check.

3 Be accommodative: Most people don’t listen to others talking not because they are busy but because they believe that they are perfect and cannot make any mistake in their life. 

If you want to grow as a person, you have to try and be giving room to other people to voice out their observations or opinions be it helpful or not but at least they try.

4 Stop the fantasy world: it is normal for us to wish for something once in our lives but it is another thing for you to keep living in that dream even when we know that it is just a dreamland. To grow, we need to drop that world and face the real world because until we do that, we can’t grow personally. But how can achieve that? you may want to read the 10 Simple Ways To Achieve Your Goals 

5 You listen: It is not everyone that enjoys listening to people or asking questions in other to understand others and when you do this, people keep their distance from you because they believe that it is a waste of time to talk to you. 

So when you start listening and asking questions in other to get their points, you have to start growing. That is you getting matured mentally.

6 Try out some new things: You will never know what you are capable of if you never set your mind to try something out. Do you want to grow as a person? Then you need to try something new.

Go on an adventure, excursion, sightseeing, etc. this will help open your insight even more to understand life the way it is. you can connect with people by joining us in our relationship space.

7 Stop making fun of people: When I was in high school, I used to see all those bullies making fun of the younger ones or smaller ones in the school because to them, they were better than them. Well, that’s what their mind told them but if you want to sit down and check, you will discover that those they are bullying are way better than them.

So if you are one of them, the way to grow as a person is to let go of that childish life and see life the way it is. If you see someone that you think you are better than then just pass if you can’t help them.

This shows how mature you are mental.

How your daily habits affect your life

Do you know how your daily habits affect your life both positively and negatively? Then I will tell you.

Habits are one thing that defines who we are and how people should address us. Our habits are our identity. We display who we are or who we want to become through our habits.

It is one thing in humans that cannot be faked for long as it is a part of our daily lives.

What is a habit? Things you need to know about it

There are formed by repetition.

–The way we react to things is a result of our habits.

Habits also show in the way we dress: when you join all your habits together you form a lifestyle.

–Tree Table of a Habit—

Routine—Habit—Character

What are the types of habits?

Good Habit

Bad Habit

Ugly Habit

Are habits easy to change?

If you are thinking if habits are easy to change then I will say Yes and No. When it comes to changing habits, it is based on the individual involved.

Changing your habit is like planning to change your location and that takes determination and readiness.

SEE ALSO:  OUTSTANDING REASON WHY IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN

Good Habit:*

How effective or useful you will be, depending on the number of good habits that you form.

A good habit can make you successful because grace can take you to the top but, to remain at the top, you need a good character. And to have a good character you must have a good habit.

If you are thinking of changing your habit, then develop these few good habits;

1. Rise early: You cannot compare a life of an early riser to someone who oversleeps. If you see an early riser that is still backward it is only because the person did not plan well.

Being an early riser means you should know how to manage your time well to be productive.

2. Keep yourself neat: God is everywhere but he dwells in a neat place. So if you want God to dwell in you, you must keep yourself and your environment clean and neat at all times. It’s a sin to know God and you are dirty.

3. Be productive: You shouldn’t spend every #5,000 or $50 that enters into your hands. It is better to save because one day you might need it for something very important.

4. Minding your business: (it makes you shine and also helps you to live long without having issues with people) minding your business is the best habit you can ever develop because it is necessary.

5. Touch people’s lives in one way or the other: (you might not be good at praying but another way you can help someone’s life is by giving.

      Learn to be a cheerful giver, it is not everything that has to do with prayer. At that particular moment, it may not be a prayer that a person needs help with. So learn to understand people’s needs.

— Bad Habit –

Bad habit makes a man less effective.

Getting offended when being corrected is a bad habit. Life is a continuous process, we learn every day.

N/B Bad habit is you not using the red bell by the side after reading this or following my quora space relationshipadvice1. hahaha please let’s continue.

— Ugly habit —

Ugly habit can also be called evil habit. They are habits but there are sins. Ugly habit destroys a man. It brings a man down to zero.

*Examples of ugly habits:

1. Pre-marital s*x
2. Gossip: Gossiping brings about division. It doesn’t allow anything to stand the test of time.
3. Lying: Lying is an ugly habit. Your lying can bring down someone. So stop lying.

Lying rubs you off God’s blessing and Glory. Lying makes you and your angel be opponents instead of working together.

4. Unforgivingness: you imprison yourself when you don’t forgive someone. Unforgivingness makes your prayer not ascend. It destroys your prayer life.

God is love so we have to learn to let go and love one another.

5. Spending too much: it is an ugly habit not to spend wisely. It is a sin to spend more than your income. When money enters your hand, ensure that you know the important places to forward them to.

Wealth is not money, it’s in the mind before it now comes down to the hand. But the important thing is “How do you handle it when it comes into your hands”.

6. Over-eating: It is one thing for you to eat because you are hungry but it is another for you to eat because you can’t overlook it.

When you eat whatever you see and you cannot say a No to food then that is an ugly habit, stop it.

7. Don’t be addicted to social media: If you want to remain online, let it be productive and that is to say, limit the fun part of it.”

8. Oversleeping: Oversleeping while people are there busying trying to achieve one or two and you sleeping in without a source of income is an ugly habit. Most people that do find themselves in this kind of place do end up doing something illegal just to earn for living and this is wrong.

So it is better they get themselves disciplined.

9 Dishonesty: be a man of integrity, if it is white, don’t say it is blue. Learn to be transparent.

10. Lack of time management: it says “there is time for everything” not being able to manage yourself is one habit you need to work on if you want to be productive in life.

Lack of time management can bring about a delay of destiny. That is “No going forward no going backward.”

N/B Your experience, feelings, caving, and desires have a lot of roles to play in the development of your habit. Therefore it is important to be careful of what you desire in life.
