If It Doesn’t Challenge You, It Doesn’t Change You

If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.

To us, a good challenge means anything and everything that gets your body, mind, and life healthier and happier—and that will look different for everyone.

To lead an authentic life, we need to take on new challenges that stretch us and give us more opportunities to be ourselves. It is not that the authentic person does not feel the same fear; rather, they are simply more willing to face their fear. That being said, the question is not how to lead a life in which we never feel the fear of failure, but rather, how we can move forward despite our fear. Are we able to transform our fear into an enthusiasm to engage with the new challenge and learn from it?  It is like Mary Anne says, “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.”
