Regular doses of challenge

Challenge brings your best qualities to the surface. The more meaningful the challenge, the more powerfully this happens.

You have the capacity for curiosity, resourcefulness, flexibility, creativity, perception, pattern recognition and more. But when life becomes too easy those skills rarely get activated.

That’s why it’s important to seek challenges and work through them. When you engage your ability to deal with various dilemmas, you strengthen that ability.

It might feel like a luxury to have others solve all your problems. Yet that can actually lure you into a trap.

It’s crucial to preserve your own agency and skill at resolving difficulties. The time is almost certain to come when you’ll need to call upon that skill.

Give yourself regular doses of challenge. Keep your amazing problem-solving abilities strong and ready for action.
