How Do You Know You've Grown?

[Trifoilum]

How do you know you've emotionally / mentally / psychologically / spiritually grown or improved ?

What happened that made you think, "oh, compared to the past, I'm really doing better now."?

Sometimes in life you do something that you know will have a knock on effect to the rest of your life and you remember that moment or whatever it happens to be such as traumatic or empowering experience.
Other times however its simply a case that you catch yourself doing particular things that you wouldn't have done prior. A personal example is that a few months ago I realised I've started thinking about myself as a man instead of a boy or "just a guy" which is something I'd never done up until around that time.

I think the important thing isn't to worry about it too much as it will simply happen as you go through life as it'll naturally happen through what ever you choose to partake in.
