2 Peter 1:5

5 Do your best to improve your faith. You can do this by adding goodness, understanding, 6 self-control, patience, devotion to God, 7 concern for others, and love. 8 If you keep growing in this way, it will show that what you know about our Lord Jesus Christ has made your lives useful and meaningful. 9 But if you don’t grow, you are like someone who is nearsighted or blind, and you have forgotten that your past sins are forgiven. 2 peter 2:5-9
when you don't grow, you are like a blind person---or someone who is not self aware. this passage reminded me of how important it is to keep grown and falls in line with what I am learning about self awareness. when you are not self aware, you are actually blind. the result of no growth is that our lives are not made useful. ouch. but a meaningful, purpeseful, full life is one that is doing the virtues stated above it is rendered useful.
