Challenges Quotes

In every difficult situation is potential value. Believe this, then begin looking for it

If we do not rise to the challenge of our unique capacity to shape our lives, to seek the kinds of growth that we find individually fulfilling, then we can have no security: we will live in a world of sham, in which our selves are determined by the will of others, in which we will be constantly buffeted and increasingly isolated by the changes round us.
Nena O\'Neil

Challenges
Life is a crucible. Nothing can be had easily. Nothing is given freely. Challenge is built into the universe, it is as fundamental as gravity. Life proceeded from a single cell to a thriving and glorious ecosystem only because it was continuously pushed and challenged. The universe will throw everything and anything in our way; our choice is to face the challenge or to give in. In giving in we don’t free ourselves from challenge, we simply accept lesser and lesser challenges, and accept a less fulfilling and less meaningful life. Challenges shape us. Every challenge faced is an act of creation. A remaking of our lives as we face difficulty and move forward, enriched in the process. Even when the challenge defeats us, we grow. In braving hardship, we reveal the best of human potential, and prove to ourselves we have a life worth living.
