WHY ARE CHALLENGES IMPORTANT IN LIFE?

 
Challenges are placed in your life to help you grow. If life was simple and easy, would you ever be challenged to change? Probably not! Change happens when you are uncomfortable and forced out of your comfort zone. Challenges are there to provide you with an opportunity to expand your horizons, open your comfort zone, and thrive in ways you never could have imagined. 
 
Another way to view challenges is to think about it in this way: Have you faced challenges in the past? Have you been able to successfully overcome them? After you answer these two questions, look back on these challenges and remind yourself what has positively changed because of it. What have you since been able to accomplish? Are you a stronger person now? Finally, remind yourself that you have survived challenges before, and you can do it once again. You are strong enough to overcome whatever life throws at you because you have developed the skills needed to do this. Do not be afraid of challenges- they are only there to help you.
