Gosh.. challenges are so inviting aren't they?

They make you WANT to beat everyone else. OR they make you want to give up before you even begin because you're too afraid of everyone else.

But either way... they are hella fun to watch.

Think about the Superbowl, Olympics, Fortune 500, your Google rankings, or even the challenge of doing better than those that you went to school with (one of my favorites).

If you want to push yourself to succeed.. challenge yourself.. or challenge someone else to compete against you.

I mean.. it's pretty obvious that a challenge pushes us, right?

You could look at a show like Big Brother. When someone is not up for eviction from the Big Brother house, they don't really try as hard.. but the second they're nominated to get kicked out of they house, they fight for their lives!

Ya gotta challenge yourself and if that means to get yourself to a point where you're almost going to be evicted.. so be it.

One of the challenges that I greatly miss from my life was when I lived out of a car.. I had nothing to my name but that crappy old car, a few shirts, and enough money to get me from point A to point B.

Other than that... I was a nobody.

And I loved the challenge of making myself into a "somebody". I'm still competing to do it every single day and as I get closer and closer, one thing is always clear... it's challenging and that's what pushes me to get there.

So... what challenges you?

And if your answer is "nothing" tell us what would challenge you.

    right now and for most of my life the biggest challenge has been from my family .

    i am not a tidy person by nature but it really doesn't run in the family either .. but i have who was expected to clean everything up after everyone ...and my mother would stand there and yell at me everytime i loaded the diswaser to say i was doing it wrong .

    there has never been any right way ..and for the last few years taking care of my parents cooking 2-3 meals a day ..running them to multiple doctors visits every week.. and every time i would get some work everything was piled up and left for me ..

    nothing i have done has every been enough for my family i was expected to spend 6 hours a day taking care up my parent for no pay and the smallest bedroom in the house while i lost everything i worked for.. because i could have gotten paid but my mom though that meant i would have to do every little thing she wanted .

    my entire life my family had no trouble calling me a lazy worthless good for nothing .. completely devaluing everything i did and shooting me down every time i would try something else ..

    whatever though i am getting away from this the other side of the planet is just far enough away .

    there are many different health benifits moving to a tropical county and living close to the beach ..the cost of living is far less ..heck can live decently for what a car payment and insurance would cost me here .and my body wants to be warm all year not chilly cold or below zero ..

    the main drag has been the prospect of having the help they needed ..but that has changed recently ..and i have been told that sencse want to deal with my health issues without medications .. my family doesn't care and openly does the opposite .

    so what ever why stay in this shitty life much longer wheen the life i want is a plain ticket and a small ish income to live off of .

    right now i will goes restore my health and start building wealth and surround myself with people who will support me .

    Good points, Justin. What are challenges for me is perhaps developing successful strategies for being significantly successful with marketing and then also creating irresistible products.

      It's definitely possible Michael That was one of the challenges I held for myself in the beginning as well because I was working 3 jobs and maybe saw my girlfriend a few hours throughout an entire week.

      Now I'm able to actually go to bed with her (we've been together for 6 years now ) and bring her lunch when she's working, just like I did a few hours ago. It's a really great feeling and something you'll come to love once you get there!

      If you need any motivation to help you let me know

      If that's what challenges you, then go for it! Just make sure you aren't investing too much time into something without at first seeing if the market really wants it. I made that mistake a while back and put 12 hours a day into a project for 2 months that turned out to not even be something of interest even though I thought it would be. Good luck!
