Accept The Challenge

Don The Idea Guy December 18, 2020

Life would be boring if everything came too easily.
It’s the challenge that keeps things interesting.

You’re presented with multiple challenges every single day.
It might be the challenge of getting right out of bed in the morning rather than smashing the snooze-button like you’re subscribing to a YouTube channel. It might be the challenge of eating a healthy breakfast rather than just grabbing a cup of coffee as you bolt out the door (late as usual because you were hitting the snooze-button again)! Your challenge might to be a little more patient with people every day, or it might be to do the dishes every night so they don’t stack up in the sink.

You have a hundred little gauntlets being thrown down in front of you as a challenge every day. They may be so small and in such quantity that you don’t treat them as such, but how you face those little challenges is how you face all the big challenges too.

The Small Challenges Prepare You For The Big Challenges

If you can’t take on the challenge to make your bed every morning, what makes you think you can handle the challenge to organize that important company event you’ve been wanting to take the lead on at work?

If you refuse the challenge to write a post on your personal blog at least once per week, why would a book publisher ever believe you could meet the challenge to write that novel you’ve been pitching?

When you confront (and overcome) the minor challenges in life, you are developing positive habits, attitudes, and experiences which translate into being able to take on more challenges (major challenges!) and emerge victorious.

The Ugly Back

Everyone goes to the museum to admire the pretty fronts of artistic tapestries, but the ugly backs face the wall and are rarely on display. My wife decided she wanted to host a big family Thanksgiving this year. While we were in the process of cleaning up the house and putting our (my) clutter. Hapy […]

My Three Words for 2022

Several years ago I started choosing an annual trio of words to help me stay on track with my goals, focus my actions, and guide my decision making. I copied the practice from Chris Brogan and you can click on that link in his name to visit Chris’ page to read about how he chooses […]

Want hot ideas? Let the tap run.

I’ve written in the past about how I come up with some many good ideas (spoiler alert: it’s because I also come up with so many bad ideas). I’ve also shared how important it is to throw away the first dozen or so ideas you come up with because they’re not going to be especially […]
