And it has led to a steadily continuing increase in our standard of living. Challenges can teach, inspire and help us to grow. And overcoming challenge brings a sense of accomplishment and the confidence to face even greater challenges. Sometimes, though, we get so caught up in security and comfort, that we're reluctant to take on challenges. But such complacency is at best boring, and over time can erode the essence of life.
Challenges are a key part of childhood.
Children learn to overcome obstacles on a daily basis to be able to walk, communicate, eat and socialize. In fact, you could say that challenge is the essence of youth. And if you want to always stay young, never stop seeking new challenges.
