Challenge

“If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” Fred Devito

You know how much I love a good challenge!

Here's why.

First, it allows you to express your competitive side. Yes I admit I may have an oversized competitive spirit, owing to my strong (ie. stubborn) German genetics, but I believe we all have a competitive side, to various degrees. It's just fun to unleash this once in a while.

Second, challenge is one of the ways we evolve and grow, mentally, physically and emotionally.

I love the second part of this quote - "change". Who wants to stand still? Spinning in the hamster wheel. Groundhog day. Mundane, ordinary, boring, average, satisfactory, good enough.

Not this girl!

There came a point in my life where I had it all I thought I ever wanted, at least on paper - career, husband, house, kids etc, but I still had this EMPTY feeling. What are my goals now? What's next? What's my PURPOSE? I felt there is so much more potential.

Through strength training, I found this purpose. Challenge, evolution, betterment, strength. Something to work toward, PRs to hit, new successes, big and small.

Challenge. Change.

I encourage people to always have goals, and let's build the physical and mental toughness to trust that you can challenge your limits. This can bring so much contentment and happiness in life.

Approach each day with wonder excitement at your potential.

I am no longer standing still. How about you?
