Challenging yourself is one of the greatest challenges.

Category: Life

I'm goin' through some changes in my life. Maybe its because I feel older by the minute and feel like it is time for me to grow even more then I have over the last 25 years of my life and get ME together. I've set forth challenges for myself over the last couple of months and all that I can say is GOLLY! Challenging myself has been and continues to be one of the greatest challenges I face yet. I am in fact a very STRONG woman but challenges definitely test you thoroughly. You know we all go through the "new year resolutions" every year, but how many of us REALLY stick to them and conquer the challenge(s)? I know I am guilty of not always CHOOSING to accomplish what I have set out in my "time frame." The challenges I'm facin' now are things that I have childishly become accustom to over the last 6 years of my life. It's always fun to play but the HARD lessons you learn along the way almost make it seem like playin' is not so worth it in the end. Though I know we are supposed to grow with each step we take in life whether it be the hard way (which is usually the way I take) or the easy way. I am CHALLENGING myself to be a better person and to put away those childish things in which I have become attached. Those things are but habits that I have chosen not to get rid of in my life and now that I am choosing to rid those things from my life it makes the challenge all the more hard to work on accomplishing. I'm actually quite proud of myself because I have been doin' well BUT my challenges are NOT over yet and I encourage all of you to stick it out. Challenge yourself in areas of your life that you've been wanting to make better or just change. I believe if I am concurring the challenges I have made for myself, ANYBODY can be successful. It may not be easy but I feel the reward will be worth it to ME. Challenges can be a test of your mind, your strength, your will, your heart, and your character. I hope through all the challenges I am facing in my life that I WILL be a stronger, more intelligent, beautiful individual.

Have a blessed and very fulfilling day!
