If
we do not rise to the challenge of our unique capacity to
shape our lives, to seek the kinds of growth that we find
individually fulfilling, then we can have no security: we
will
live in a world of sham, in which our selves are determined
by the will of others, in which we will be constantly
buffeted and increasingly isolated by the changes round us.

Opposition
is a natural part of life. Just as we develop
our physical muscles through overcoming opposition--such
as lifting weights--we develop our character muscles
by overcoming challenges and adversity.
Stephen

The
ultimate measure of a person is not where he or she stands
in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he or
she stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Martin

Every
result you get in your life is the combination of the
challenge
you receive from the reality around you

Challenges
make you discover things about yourself
that you never really knew. They're what makes the
instrument stretch--what makes you go beyond the norm.

limit.
