CHALLENGE YOURSELF


JFK once said: “We choose to go...not because [it is] easy, but because [it is] hard, because that goal will serve to measure and organize the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.”

If we want to reach our full potential we must challenge ourselves. These challenges don’t have to be huge and all inspiring. They can range from as simple as starting a healthier diet to learning a new sport to asking someone out to inventing something to starting a business. But we must challenge ourselves daily.

“Consistently challenging yourself to achieve outside of your current abilities is extremely important if you want to achieve greatness in your life,” counseled Hooman Hamzehloui.

Wise words came from William Bennett when he said, “Give yourself an even greater challenge than the one you are trying to master and you will develop the powers necessary to overcome the original difficulty.”

The point of a challenge isn’t to prove to others that you can accomplish great things but to give confidence to your inner soul. May we all challenge ourselves in one way or another starting today so that we can become greater individuals!

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” -Eleanor Roosevelt-

....And the journey continues!!!
