Life can seem pretty challenging at times, but to say that is a misnomer. Life is ALWAYS challenging. In fact, that’s what life is. A challenge. And it is up to each of us to either embrace the challenge life presents to us or shy away from it.
Each of us has our own unique set of challenges, and the specific form of our challenge may change during the course of our lives. What does not change, however, is that life is always challenging us in some way. Life's challenge is a constant, and we can either embrace our challenges, struggle to overcome them, and learn and grow from our struggle, or we can attempt to avoid our challenges, in which case we will still inevitably struggle with our challenges, but without growing and learning.
Since as humans we are destined to struggle either way, we find ourselves faced with two distinct choices: we can embrace our challenges and face them head on, or we can attempt to run away from them. One choice is the Warrior’s Way. The other choice is the Coward’s Way.
However, what we need to know is this: ultimately we can never truly avoid our challenges. We can either make a stand and do battle bravely, or flee from them in fear. We can attempt to flee from our challenges, but we can never ultimately avoid them. Our challenges will always track us down and make us deal with them anyway. We can attempt to hide from them, but our challenges will always find us.
Therefore, if we know that we cannot ultimately avoid facing our challenges, are we not better off summoning our courage and meeting them face to face, rather than giving in to fear and attempting to run away and hide from them?
What's a Warrior?
One who never flees nor fears
The Moment’s challenge
