What is personal growth?

Personal growth refers to your ability to continue to grow, expand, and improve. Rather than wanting to maintain in the same mental and emotional place, people who desire personal growth enjoy the process of just as much, if not more, than the outcome. They seek new challenges and pursue their goals with passion and dedication. Growth comes from taking direct actions to improve or meet goals. 

Why is personal growth important?

When you have the drive to improve your happiness skills, you'll do what it takes to actually improve these skills. You'll have lots of successes and this teaches you that you have the potential to experience more happiness than you ever thought was possible. This confidence supports your continued growth and success, which creates an upward spiral or growth.
