If there’s something that separates pros from amateurs in any domain of life, it’s the willingness to welcome obstacles and embrace challenges. Pros see them as a force that will make them stronger, sharpen their skills, and make them more valuable. If I know anything it’s that your world will challenge you, and if you face it with an openness and willingness to be challenged, then you’ll find yourself developing more of the next mindset. #Inspired
When you have a willingness to be challenged, it opens up more of your mind so you can stay ready for anything. In sports, they call it active readiness. It keeps your mind open to creatively problem solve and helps you develop agility. If competition is your thing, it’s also super intimidating to your opponents. It’s hard for any bully to deal with a foe standing in front of it who says, “I’m ready for anything you’ve got!” That’s typically not a fight they want. #Inspired
The more you embrace challenges, and stay flexible, the more you free up the mental space to be creative. You were born pretending and make believing worlds in your head that don’t exist in reality. Then the grown-ups told you to, “Stop doing that,” “Don’t act that way,” or to, “Grow up.” But I say screw that. The “grown-ups” were wrong! Use your imagination and don’t keep it hidden. It’s a powerful tool that not only brings your best thinking to life, it unleashes your hidden superpowers. #Inspired
When challenges do arrive, they tend to make us feel intimidated. The feeling of embracing the challenge sometimes goes right out the door. When we think people are watching there is even more pressure to persevere. That is because we don’t want other people to see us as a failure. This idea usually occurs in our minds. For all we know they could be thinking about what they’re going to eat today, if there is a rock in their shoe, or whether or not they took their vitamins. #Inspired
What other people think shouldn’t deter you from living your best life because honestly, no two lives are the same. What does matter is how each one of us perceive the challenges – whether you take to the challenge or let the challenge take you. “Discomfort brings engagement and change. Discomfort means you’re doing something others are unlikely to do, because they’re hiding out in the comfortable zone.” — Seth Godin. When you are challenged, you are asked to become more than you were before acquiring new perspectives, new skills, and pushing boundaries. #Inspired
Whatever you are feeling discomfort about, there is someone else out there who has felt the same thing as you. Sometimes just knowing that you are not alone in discomfort can make us feel more comfortable in pushing beyond. Your personal growth is reflected upon new challenges and activities. The mind has a way of rising to the occasion. Challenge it, and it will reward you. So never hesitate to challenge yourself at any point in time. Since we live only once, we’ve to make sure that we enjoy the life to the fullest.
