A bigger challenge

If you’re working to get past a problem that you’ve had, a great way to do that is to create a bigger problem. Now, that may sound a little bit strange at first. After all, why would you want to replace one difficulty with another one? The reason is control. The challenges you create for yourself, the challenges you willingly take on, are things that you have decided to do. You are not their victim. You are their master. You have chosen a challenge because you know you are strong enough to move yourself through it. You have chosen the challenge because it is something you desire to accomplish. Replace those disappointments that come your way with challenges which will move you forward. Take control.

Each challenge will energize you and bring out the best in you. Challenge will compel you to quickly forget those disappointments of the past and to develop your skills and resourcefulness so you can move forward into a positive future. Challenge will redirect your negative energy away from the frustrations of the past and into the achievements of the present and the future. Challenge will give you a clear and positive sense of direction and purpose. When you’re bouncing back from a disappointment, you need somewhere to bounce. A good challenge will provide that space in which to move quickly away from your previous defeat.
