Here’s how the Cambridge dictionary has defined challenge: “(the situation of being faced with) something that needs great mental or physical effort in order to be done successfully and therefore tests a person’s ability.” In other words, a challenge will test you as a person and help you realize how far you are willing to go and how high the risks you are willing to take are when you are on the road to success.

A challenge means you have stepped outside of your comfort zone and taken on a new task. You are ready to work hard to achieve it and are committed to your own personal development. People face many challenges throughout their lives, and some of these are quite common. Some are also impossible to avoid, and all humans have these in common. Here are some examples of challenges:

LOSS

All people experience loss at some point in their lives. This can be the loss of a relationship, the death of someone they have a close connection with, the loss of a job they really loved, or something else entirely. No matter what you have lost, it can be difficult to get through.

OPINIONS

Everyone is influenced by how others perceive them, and most people want others to like them as a person. No matter how hard a person tries, they won’t be liked by everyone all the time, and learning how to deal with this challenge can be a long journey.

AGE

No matter how old or young a person is, they will probably hear people making assumptions about them based on their age. Some examples are when young people have high and important positions at firms, or when older people try to get involved with new technology. No matter your age, people will at some point perceive your age as a hindrance.

FEAR

At its worst, fear can paralyze a person and lead to mental health issues, like post-traumatic stress disorder or general anxiety. This can be a difficult obstacle to navigate despite how often some people need to cope with fear.

FAILURE

Even the most experienced and qualified people will experience failure at some point while they are working toward their goals. The important thing is to embrace the failure, which will be looked at more closely later on in this chapter.

When you hear about these challenges, you might feel like closing the book, going to sleep, and never waking up. Life is hard, but you can’t live a life with no challenges. Even though it seems difficult at times, there are in fact many benefits that come with challenges:

stimulates growth

builds a capacity for resilience

lays a solid foundation

forces you to work with others

encourages creativity

makes you stronger

keeps you humble

amplifies your achievements
