When you challenge yourself in any area of your life, you end up growing. If you stick to what you already know and you only do the things you know you’re good at, you stay stagnant.

Choose an area of your life to challenge yourself in – and make sure that you cover each of them. For example, in the area of exercise, challenge yourself to do more than you thought you could with your exercise program.

Maybe instead of doing 30 minutes of walking each day, you shoot for 45 minutes. You’ll gain a sense of accomplishment that will make you feel happy and successful.

Try a new food – something that’s outside of your comfort zone. This broadens your horizons and can help you learn about other cultures. Maybe you find happiness in cooking, so this can bring your family together, too.

Learn something new. People that continually grow in knowledge challenge their brain. This can be a new language, book, or skill. It could be something like taking a dance lesson or visiting a place that moves you, shakes up your life, and gives you a deeper perspective.

Resurrect a failure. Every single person in the world has a failure of some kind in their life. They tried something and it didn’t work. They couldn’t accomplish a goal – couldn’t grasp enough of the knowledge needed to make an idea work.

Look back over something that you tried and really wanted but gave up on. Sometimes the passing of time can add fresh ideas and a better understanding of why the failure happened.

When you look back over your life at something that failed, it could be that you just weren’t prepared for that success. When you challenge yourself to be an ‘overcomer,’ you’ll find a sense of happiness because of the completion of each task.

Finishing something contributes to success. It’s especially rewarding when you go back to something you previously failed at. Remember, it took many tries before the light bulb finally worked!
