Ask more of yourself

Lead yourself into activities that challenge you, intellectually, physically, socially, philosophically, spiritually. Spend time in ways that stimulate the whole of your being.

Energy and strength do not arise out of idleness. They result from engaging in purposeful and challenging activity.

You’ll actuate and strengthen your best abilities when you depart from your comfortable routine. By dealing with what you’ve never before dealt with, you develop strength beyond what you previously possessed.

Genuine challenge energizes your imagination, your creativity, your persistence, and your sense of purpose. It’s a demanding experience, and that’s the source of its positive power.

By working through a challenge you can create valuable results. Yet every challenge also brings rewards that transcend the moment and the situation.

Ask more of yourself. Discover again and again the benefits of giving it, and getting it.
