Grow

Everyone on the Earth has something in common. We are all sons and daughters of God who have been sent here to Earth to learn, grow, and prepare to live with God after this life. I have found that similar to plants, the most powerful part of life is growing. Humans basically grow in four different categories: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. If we don´t continually grow in all four of these areas then we will feel that there is something missing in our lives and we will be wanting something more. Many people look at growing as an accumalation of music in their itunes library, more video games and movies on their shelves, buying a bigger house, getting nicer clothes, getting a nicer job, getting a raise or a promotion, or gaining more recognition. This is growth as to the world. These are some of the treasures of the world. We need to grow as to the things of God such as becoming physically stronger, eating healthy foods, learning new concepts and ideas, reading books, solving puzzles or problems, memorizing new information, developing musical talents, learning to work with other people, learning to see the good in everyone, recognizing your weaknesses, learning from others around you, reading the scriptures, learning moral lessons, being spiritually uplifted, developing your faith in Jesus Christ and his Atonement, and more wonderful things. The best times in our lives will be when we are growing as to the things of God. Many people call a mission the best 2 years of your life because missionaries get to take a break from the things of the world and focus on growing as to the things of God. We were put on this Earth to interact with each other. I´ve found that the best way to learn about another person and have fun is to grow with them. Play physical sports with them, Study with them, Solve problems together, Simply talk with them, Share your testimonies with one another, search for media which spiritually uplifts and teaches that you can participate in together. I´ve loved learning and growing with my companion and we´ve had many great experiences together because of it. Grow with the family and friends you have and go out there to find some new people to learn and to grow with.
