Challenges Faced By Rajpreet

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory. Our ability to handle life's challenges is a measure of our strength of character. You just keep a positive attitude no matter what comes in your way - challenges, roadblocks - don't let it faze you, and you can overcome anything

1. WHAT IS A CHALLENGE :A challenge is something new and difficult which requires great effort and determination. I like a big challenge and they don't come much bigger than this. ... A challenge to something is a questioning of its truth or value. A challenge to someone is a questioning of their authority.
   • I think that life is difficult. ...
   • Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. 
   • Our ability to handle life's challenges is a measure of our strength of character.
   •  What was the toughest challenge you've ever faced?
     They ask difficult questions to gauge how well you act under pressure and to gain a better understanding of you. In an interview, a hiring manager may ask a question like “what was the toughest challenge you have ever faced” to discern what things are challenges for you and how you handle frustrating experiences.
      
     
     

     In this very moment, my biggest challenge is that I’m getting in my own way.

     For some reason I really do not feel like writing today.

     I don’t know what it is. Maybe I’m a bit sad, bit pessimistic or a bit afraid, but I’m just incredibly uncomfortable writing right now.

     The only reasons I’m actually writing this right now is to 1. Have someone to talk to about this and 2. Because my Ego won’t allow me to give in.

     If I gave in to this feeling of discomfort I would do it the next time as well and it would start a negative spiral, so I have to write.

     I had to get that one out of the way first.

     It may be only a very acute challenge, but it does suck quite a bit right now.

     But it also boils down to my actual biggest challenge, which is me getting into my own way again.

     There’s a quote from the movie Evan Almighty that really resonates with the current situation:

     “Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?” - God, Evan Almighty

     I do believe life works in this way as well.

     And I do believe the current discomfort is just another opportunity for me to show that I won’t get in my own way anymore.

     It’s probably largely bollocks, but it makes me feel far better trying to overcome it.

     I think the biggest challenge I’m facing is letting go of who I was until now to give room to be who I want to become.

     I’m getting in my own way so many times and have done so for so long that I’m now so sick and tired of it that I’m actually willing to go through these moments.

     Previously I would have just tucked my tail and ran because the discomfort is so great I’m almost in tears right now!

     That’s not something I would have gone through just to be my own hero.

     But now I feel I have to.

     Not because I actually do, but rather because I’m sick and tired of living the life of my past self, always hoping that I could get the life of another person but never getting it.

     I’m sick and tired of living a life less than what I’m capable of.

     My biggest challenge are these moments that come up time and time again.

     These opportunities that allow me a chance to be better than I was.

     And I know I’m not going to be perfect in all of those.

     Right now, it feels like this answer I wrote is rather bad, or at least worse than my usual answers.

     But I guess that’s not what it’s about right now.

     Right now I wrote this to defy the desire to escape.

     I wrote this to prove that I could.

     And if that means no one understands me because the answer went all over the place, then so be it.

     But I did it!

     Sometimes we have to allow ourselves to get in our own way, to be okay with screwing up a bit and failing along the way, because it’s not what matters.

     What matters is that we do it anyway, even if it turns out to be crap.
