16 August 2021 – Without challenge there is no reason for growth. When we think about the advances that have been made due to some “need,” we can easily see how a challenge of some kind brought about advancement and growth. The lightbulb came to diminish the challenge of darkness. A plant arises from a seed due to a challenge.

With us, we grow due to challenge. This can be physical–we get stronger when we challenge muscles with a workout. It can be mental–we get smarter when we challenge our brains with thinking. In every facet of life, when we overcome a challenge, we will find growth and change has occurred.
