how do you contribute for your personal growth?

If someone says something negative on me or is infact critisizing me then I manage to work hard to improve myself, it is not a matter of changing for the other one but for yourself, And I know I will be better with myself if I try to work on my faults.

I feel each person needs a job, even if its a really rubbish job it still gives them a small purpose and money. I exercise everyday, because it make me feel more confident with myself, and eating healthy makes me feel better on the inside. Lots of people smoke and drink and eat fatty foods becuase they say it makes them feel better, but I found that healthy eating and exercise makes me feel so much better than when I used to Smoke, drink and eat rubbish food. And in the year that I've given up I've felt so much better in myself, I've become a more confident, happy person. So I think the best way to contribute to your own personal growth is to look after yourself and your body and you'll see how much of a difference it makes.
