What new challenge will today bring?
Challenges can:
- cause fear – maybe it is something you are not looking forward to that is ahead.
- bring excitement – a golf game perhaps, or that fishing trip
- create progress – perhaps building something, or managing people (even a family)
- cause growth – such as working out builds muscle later when you are resting
Yes challenges can be stressful, but stress is not bad, distress is bad, and a good challenge will almost always cause growth. Getting out of bed can be considered a very simple challenge, but I swear it will cause you to grow!
.
Why seek a challenge?
- There can be simple pleasure involved even in easy challenges such as taking a shower.
- There can be enormous pleasure in accomplishing a big task.
- Seeking a challenge is better than the opposite – hiding!
