Challenge Yourself to Grow

in #motivation5 years ago

A friend of mine works a job that she totally hates and despises.

She does it out of necessity. This is the reason that I'd say 90%+ of the world works a job -- for the necessity of making money to cover their living expenses.

What saddens me about this is that all of these people have so much talent and so much skill and it's just going to waste on these jobs that produce meaningless results.

Like my friend, the vast majority of these jobs entail pushing papers and checking on other peoples' jobs.

This results in essentially just a circular motion of job flow where nobody is exuding any real creativity or ooomf... for lack of a better term.

“Don’t go through life, grow through life.” Eric Butterworth

Instead of just going through life and following obligation after obligation, we should grow through life, as the quote suggests.

We should aim to improve ourselves each and every day.

Why stay still and why allow yourself to follow a path of least resistance?

Seek the challenges and the progress will seek you.

The only way to grow and get stronger is to challenge the norm and more importantly, challenge yourself!


I have a challenge for you today:

Do 3 things that you find difficult -- it could be reading for 10 extra minutes, writing an extra post, exercising for 15 extra minutes, etc. etc.

Anything that challenges you and is uncomfortable will do. Get after it today!
