Challenge Yourself

Don’t wait for life to challenge you.

The peculiar aspect of life is we have the power to create our own simulations within the simulation, we call them challenges.

When we want to live an impactful successful creative life, instead of chasing perfection and being consumed by fear, we can present challenges. Challenges are much more achievable than perfection and can help us overcome fear. Challenges have goals, objectives, and milestones with a purpose.

Challenges help us uncover fears and gain skills in areas where we lack ability. By consistently challenging ourselves, we are less fearful. With an arsenal of wins in our favor, our confidence and self-efficacy build.

Confidence will help us boldly unmask fears, stare the monster in its eyes, and say “not today .” And we say “not today” because we are empowered as we take each day one challenge at a time (yes, I meant to say that).

Nevertheless, to meet challenges, keeping our word to ourselves and others magnifies our confidence. This confidence magnifies because we hold ourselves accountable. We will never trust others if we can’t trust ourselves. We will never believe we can succeed if we don’t keep our word to ourselves. Living with integrity is a great way to overcome fears and live a successful creative life.
