Defintion of ‘challenge’ - a call to engage in a contest, fight, or competition: a challenge to a duel.
Challenging is always about beating your fears and tracking your behaviour in unexpected (e.g. scary) situations.
I am not going to teach you how it is better for you to challenge yourself, I will only tell you about what is going to happen when you finally decide that there is something to be changed in your life.
- When you challenge you change. Everyone around will definitely notice it. You suddenly become very active and energized and your head is full of fresh ideas, that have been blocked before by your either complex or fear.
- When you challenge you improve. You definitely become capable of managing things in a much better way than you did before what also improves your leadership skills. For example I was very afraid of travelling: going somewhere by plain, by bus, by car and so on. I had this presentation in Denmark, while being a casual programmer in Estonia. So I got to move to Denmark for one day, alone by plane. I can’t express what feelings owned me that day, but back then I had no other option. Although it was one of these days when you don’t sleep in advance, get up at 4AM spending whole day either alone or with unknown people and having no sleep for 24 hours, I enjoyed it. Now I do travel and get more excited about different business and fun trips.
- When you challenge you can’t stop. If you are afraid of height and decide to climb up to Everest and find it addictive trying something new, you can’t stop anymore. It’s just everyday you search for excitement and something new.
