Challenge

Climbing the mountain is not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you. Going to Paris is to be in Paris, not to cross it off your list and congratulate yourself for being worldly.

Of course, since every one of us has room for improvement, this can also mean if you don’t change yourself, then you can’t be responsible for changing your situation in life. You can never see any improvement in your life if you stick to your comfort zone. We all need a healthy dose of normal stress in our lives, after all. We can only see what we’re really capable of if we make the effort to go over our preconceived limits. Don’t limit the challenges you encounter in life - challenge the limits that your “lizard brain” crafted instead.
