There are plenty of people that basically desire a life that has no issues, no problems, and essentially has nary a true challenge to one’s being or character. That sort of life, has got to be seen for what it really is, which is a life of dullness, uneventfulness, and ultimately of total boredom. After all, whenever we watch an engaging movie or television show, what we are so watching, in essence, comes down to the hero having to overcome difficulties and challenges, which thereby attracts our attention to it – for if the hero had nothing to learn from, or to overcome, the storyline would not engage us, and we wouldn’t therefore have a good reason to watch it.
In this world, there most definitely is a reason for our existence, and that reason has an awful lot to do with the stages that each of us must go through in life. So then, in our childhood, we will invariably experience and therefore see on a lesser scale, some degree of unfairness, injustice, and meanness, but also we will experience joy, successfulness, and friendship. This is meant to give us a test and a tasting of what we will encounter when we become adults, so that the objective of our childhood years is to develop the mindset and the skill-set to understand that part of life is the challenges that we will be presented with, of which, it is our duty to not only to take on those challenges, but to be victorious in such, to the best of our ability.
Of course, it has to be said, that not every challenge, will we so conquer, because some of that which we have to deal with, we just don’t have the ready capacity to overcome. Yet, we should never be dismayed by any of our so-called failures, for it is in the trying, that we show our true character, as well as by our determination, in which, some of that which we challenge ourselves to accomplish, we are not yet ready or accomplished enough to be victorious over. While it could be said, that there is some degree of value in simply resting on our laurels when we have accomplished that of some substance, those though that are more ambitious, and stronger of character, are going to desire to push themselves to do ever more, because they want to know, how much further that they can advance, for in that advancement, they thus achieve more satisfaction, knowing that they have truly given all.
All those that desire to be seen as great conquerors, have got to recognize that to get to that stage, requires, a concerted effort as well as the knowhow and the mindset to pursue strongly after that which we so richly desire to achieve. Our greatest victories are those victories, which have come through trial and error, determination, persistence, and a dedicated drive to not relent in our efforts until we have achieved that which we have determined that we so needed to achieve. Those that best challenge themselves, are the very same, that at the end of their journey, can truly say as well as to believe, that they took on their challenges, with equanimity, and pushed themselves successfully to accomplish them.
