Challenges
I was thinking about challenges. How do we learn to take on the challenge, push through the challenge and complete the challenge? How many successes does it take to make us confident when facing new challenges? How many successes does it take to give us energy to push through the bigger challenges? Would we only be happy with big challenges or little challenges?
I like to have a variety of challenges. Like everyone, I prefer to "win" and succesfully complete my challenges. But, honestly, I've probably learned as much from unsuccesses....maybe more since I think I've had more losses than wins (ha ha). Anyway, I want to help my children and other people to be able to take on challenges, find the successes, learn from the failures and successes and go on to do greater things.

Challenges prepare us for the next great adventure. In order to get what we want we must constantly decide how we are going to achieve. Challenges as obstacles force us to decide: go around, over, under, or through -- or give up. The best things in my life are a result of overcoming challenges that I did not want.
I see obstacles and challenges as a blessing (especially when their done)! Life is a series of hills and valleys. If we're always on top of a hill we have no where to go, but if we're in the valley we can learn, grow, achieve and accomplish all we're meant to as we push up to the next hilltop. of course there's always the next valley to teach us something else.
