CHALLENGES

 

“Everything negative - pressure, challenges

- is all an opportunity for me to rise.”

                                        Kobe Bryant

Life is but a series of challenges. Challenge yourself daily. Get out

of your comfort zone. Push to new heights. What may seem like a

challenge today may seem like old hat or a walk in the park tomorrow.

This certainly holds true for physical challenges because you can feel

it. You can eventually see it and measure it. Heavier weights. More

reps. More miles. Faster miles. Feeling better. But so too for the social

challenges. The intellectual challenges. They may be harder to see,

feel, or measure, but it is true. Seek out new challenges. Welcome

challenges when they come to you. Embrace the challenge. Do the

work. Do what needs to be done to work through any challenge that

you have the good fortune to come your way! Embrace the suck!

Overcome and triumph!

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: TINY MATTERS

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: TINY MATTERS:   “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”                                           ...

TINY MATTERS

 

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are

tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

                                        Ralph Waldo Emerson

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself”

                                        Franklin Delano Roosevelt

“We suffer more in our imagination than in reality.”

                                        Seneca

“No amount of worry is going to change what will happen.”

                                        Alan Watts

We beat ourselves up over what is in the past, looking through our

retro scope with feelings of guilt and regret. We stress, worry, and fear

what may or may not happen in the future. We must plan and prepare

for the future for sure, but what we have within us, what we have in the

present, in the now is really the only thing we are guaranteed and have

control over. If we focus on what we have at our fingertips, what is in

front of us now, not worrying about what can be stressful distractions,

fretting over stuff that may never come to fruition. There is no solution

or fix like doing the work. Stress is like a weight: when we pick it up

and do the work, we get stronger. So too does our internal fortitude.

Find the drive and follow that feeling.
