If You want To Grow, Accept Life’s Challenges

We all go through things in life, and those things are the things that help us grow. Growth depends upon activity, not inactivity. If we are sitting, stagnate, more than likely we are stuck, and we are not growing. We don't grow when things are easy; we grow when we face life’s challenges head-on. If we never go through things in life, we would never realize what we can do and what we can become. 

Life sets up challenges to test our courage and willingness to change. If you want to grow, you must stretch yourself. You have to take a risk, it won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. So, don’t run from life’s challenges, embrace them. If you want to succeed in life, you have to stop avoiding the hard things. Challenges come to us to make us better. There is wisdom in challenges, and you must take time and look for them. Challenges can make you or break you. They can inspire you to grow and to be the best that you can possibly be. 

Life is full of challenges, but these challenges are only given to us because our creator knows that our faith is strong enough to get us through them. When you face difficult times, know that life’s challenges are not sent to destroy us. They are sent to grow us and to strengthen us. So, when life throws challenges our way, accept the challenge. Remember this, the greater the challenge, the greater the opportunity for growth.
