Challenges

We need them.

to test ourselves,

to level up,

perhaps most importantly: to distract ourselves from pettier things.

Hardship has a preternatural ability to bring people together. As soon as the earthquake hits, or a loved one gets cancer, our quibbles and differences fall by the wayside.

When life returns to normal we start arguing again.

During these times it serves us to find a challenge worth facing. To find a tribe with a common goal. A purpose to drive us to become better.

Because we humans thrive on challenges.

Sometimes they find us.

The rest of the time, we make them up on our own.
