Challenges Quotes

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat
Teddy Roosevelt

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat
Teddy Roosevelt

Angela

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.
