Why Should We Care About Personal Growth?

A person's personal growth is often tied to their happiness and well-being. It takes time for someone to learn about the things they enjoy in life. What they want to dedicate their life to and how they want to achieve success. Even defining what success looks like and means to a person takes time to figure out. But this is all necessary for someone's well-being.

Like many things in life, the things that bring each of us happiness fluctuates as we grow older. When we are young, it's often toys and games that bring us happiness. As we grow into teenagers and young adults material items are still important to a lot of us but they are often tied with what we will gain from having those. Usually this is a relationship of some kind with someone else. Especially when we are young, social acceptance tends to be one of the top necessities for happiness. 

For each person, these things differ, especially once we reach audulthood and then enter our later years of life. It's no surpise that material items become less and less important and even social acceptance tends not to be at the top of everyonse list. Finding the things that make a person happy in life, whether is's a job, a religion, an object or a group of people is important because when a person is happy, they tend to lead healthier, longer lives. When someone is depressed or under extreme stress they are more suseptible to sickness. This is why taking the time to grow and learn about one's self is one of the most important things they can do.
