Challenge

Challenging yourself is the key to growth, learning, improvement and enjoyment.

It is the way to discover new possibilities, develop new skills, overcome your limitations and build habits that serve you.

Challenging yourself means setting higher standards, trying new things, and taking risks. It means not settling for what is easy, familiar, or comfortable, but seeking what is hard, unknown, or uncomfortable.

To become accomplished at a chosen task you will have to find ways to like practicing and repeating it, until what was hard becomes easy. Remember that every expert began as a novice but they chose to stick at it.

Challenging yourself requires being open to feedback, criticism, and failure, and using them as opportunities to learn and improve. 

Set a big challenge, you may get a big failure, set a small challenge, you may not instantly get the feeling of exhilaration you seek - it's all about balance and patience.

To make life easy you have to work hard
