How do you define a challenge?

Is it the kind of thing that pisses you off, when you don’t get what you want?
Is it the kind of thing that stands between you and the other side?
Is a challenge something like a huge mountain that stops you from seeing on the other end, when you are standing at this end of it?
Is a challenge a mere delay in the flow of events in your life?
What is it, really?
I honestly want to you from you, reading this…. I know you have faced a challenge or two or something that falls in this line before
There has got to be a way you put a name to it, literally!

I’m asking you this because lately I am having a very hard time understanding what people mean when they say that they are facing a challenge
On one end, it sounds like they are not sure about the whole thing of a challenge
With others, it’s as though they are initially sure but in the long run, get to change their minds and say that they didn’t mean it that way….they panicked!
Can you fathom that?

Those aside, have you set out to do something lately, for yourself?
It could be anything really….at home, work, with friends, school, the forces….anything!
Did you set some targets in the cross-hairs for yourself?
Have you fired off some shots at the target?
How many centre-shots have you managed to hit so far?
I mean, even the best marksman will let you in on the wind direction and speed, the specifications of their gun and bullet, the particular target at hand, any points of compromise in case anything goes south, vintage points available

And at the end of the day, results are expected….not excuses or what we, many a time and number prefer; challenges.
Are you among those that will look yourself in the eye and scream with a beaming smile on you, that, “Yyyaaassssss, I made it”?
Or are you among those that frown down and inside with lots of unproduced reports of results achieved from the field-work?

Thank you, Mooh, for appreciating. ?
I think challenges are different for everyone it depends what you are facing and how.
Good thought, Sarah! What is a challenge to you may not necessarily be a challenge to me! Thank you for appreciating. ??❤️
For me challenge was getting through school – but now that I am outta that (been out of it for a long time too)… Shit, life kicks ass! LOL!

You say:
“On one end, it sounds like they are not sure about the whole thing of a challenge”
and of course they dont know what to do, if they did, it would not be a challange right? 😀
😂😂😂 right!!!
Great post. I love the topics you discuss and the way you think about them. I tend to produce results for myself. If I don’t get the desired outcome, it’s usually not because I didn’t put everything into it.
👏👏
I’ve had a number of challenges throughout my life. But I think it’s how we handle them and learn from them that makes each one worth it.
😍😍
Thanks for this. I guess I often think that life produces its own challenges and opportunities for us to grow so when life is easy, I tried to enjoy it!
👏👏 good for you!
Growing up I was really big into rock climbing, it was always awesome to look up at a huge rock/mountain and climb it and get to the top. A few years ago I hiked to the highest peak in Arizona, called Mt. Humphreys, it is over 12k feet tall. It was such a fun accomplishment and challenging. I was super sore and tired after it.
👏👏 its good you made it!!!
Challenges are opportunities for learning,. We get stretched to our limits at times and they help us make better people.
👏👏
I think perspective definitely factors into it. What is challenging to one person, might not be challenging to another. Like for example, I’m currently experiencing a flare with my autoimmune disorder. For me, this is my norm. Some days are harder than others but I can get by. But if my husband was having the same flare, he’d be experiencing significant challenges lol.
😳😏 makes sense!!!
Situations! No two people facing their own challenges can be compared! Nice perspective though
👏👏 very true!
As always, thought provoking questions. A challenge is something that doesn’t come easily but that causes me to grow after facing it.
😍😍
I think one of the biggest reasons people are unsure about challenges is because they are afraid of them–afraid they aren’t up for the challenge and afraid of the unknown.
😏😏 yeah, that could be it!!!
Facing a lot of challenges right now, so this was a very excellent read for me. Optimistic and challenging (in a good way!) as always!
😍😍 thank you!!!
