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 End.

This is the end of my blog posts. It’s been a good run. It has been rewarding for me and I hope you’ve found some information of value buried amongst the poor self-editing and (probably) way too many words used to attempt an explanation of my ideas. I made a commitment to myself at the […]

Job Duties vs. Opportunities

“That’s not my job.” I’ve heard this phrase uttered way too much in the workplace during my career. The sentence is usually being shot off like a gun intended to blast anyone else in the vicinity of the person’s ire. People tend to have a narrow view of what their job duties entail, and they […]

Don’t Lose Your Head

There are people who drive you absolutely bonkers (I feel your pain), and make you lose your cool at work. They don’t “do the work” and expect other people to cover for them, they’re constantly running their mouths all day instead of actually doing their work, they play their music through speakers instead of ear […]
