Contest | "Challenges of life"

Warm greetings to all my fellow steemians.

Talking about challenges, I believe I won't be wrong to say that it is one of the things that are inevitable in the human race. Daily we go to bed and wake up with challenges to handle. This can make some people who view and face it with positive minds stronger, and on the other hand, it has destroyed some. Before I continue my discussion on this topic, I would love to appreciate @aviral123 for this amazing topic.

💖 Why are challenges important in our lives?

Looking at how far life has brought us and the things we have achieved as humans, I will be right to say that challenges have a positive impact. The reason for saying this is, that challenges have led to millions of innovations. It has made man curious about how he can make life better for himself.

Take for instance, in ancient days, people went through a lot of stress and difficulties to transport goods and services, communicate with people over far distances, do research or access information, cure some diseases, etc. All these are challenges that have made life difficult for humans. But out of human curiosity, today we have cars, ships, and airplanes, for easy transportation. We also have phones for easy communication, and also the internet for easy access to information.

If not for the challenges faced, all these couldn't have been in existence, and we couldn't have been talking about science, technology, or globalization. As a result, I consider challenges to be good because they make our minds creative. Which in turn gives us a better life.

💖 Should we face every challenge with strength? How should we prepare ourselves for this?

I don't know what strength means in this context, but based on what I understand strength to be, I believe life challenges are not made to be faced with it. Rather we should face challenges with positive minds, courage, and wisdom.

If challenges are to be faced with strength, then the world's strongest people could have been free from it. To me, courage and wisdom are the front runners when it comes to solving life challenges. Remember, strength fades away with time, but wisdom remains forever. And with wisdom, all challenges are tackled.

💖 Why should we step back out of fear even before facing challenges?

He who rushes to make decisions without thinking from different angles has a high tendency to fail. A wise man would always step back to observe, study, and view things from different perspectives before making decisions. There is no need to rush in life, as rushing leads to failure. As such, it is wise to step back before taking a step further.

💖 What kind of challenges do we face in our life? Explain it.

Problems are in millions and can not be mentioned at all. Funny enough, what seems to be a challenge to someone, is not to another. Nevertheless, there are problems to seem to be general. Some of the challenges include:

• Financial challenges: life seems to be unbearable without money. As such, daily, we find ways to make ourselves financially stable. But one funny part is, that even the richest people are still struggling to gather more of it. It never satisfies us.

• Health challenges: our health is one thing I consider to be the most important in life. When there is no health, everything is useless.

• Peace: the world is turning into something else. Every day we wake up to hear wars between communities and even countries. This has always been a challenge to us because our lives and property are not safe.

Its a pleasure having you go through. I now invite @josepha, @yakspeace, and @ruthjoe to participate.
