Challenge energizes your life, pushing you to higher levels of creativity and resourcefulness. What can you do today to give yourself a nourishing measure of challenge?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go somewhere you’ve never been. Learn something complicated and useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engage in a friendly, substantive conversation with someone who disagrees with you. Undertake a task that requires more focus and discipline than you’ve previously been willing to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more challenge you experience, the more challenge you can handle. And that’s an essential skill for any kind of achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you seek to create, to become, to acquire, to undertake, you’ll work through challenge to get there. Get good at challenge and you set yourself up to make great progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willingly choose to give yourself more experience at working through challenge. You’ll develop strengths and skills that can serve you in every part of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
