I’m participating in a one-month online course right now, one with mandatory meetings, quick turn-around in-depth assignments, and three to five hours per day of offline work. I applied for it so I could learn new ways of thinking, develop relationships, and most of all, really push the limits of what I think I’m capable of.
So why did I find myself thinking this morning, “Maybe the next assignment won’t be too hard”?
Isn’t that the point? Didn’t I sign up so that it would be tough, and I’d hit challenges, and I’d have to break through to something brand new?
A lot of things don’t need to be hard. Fixing breakfast, choosing an outfit, picking out colors for your house…but somehow we make easy things difficult and then we don’t have the juice left over to tackle the real challenges, the ones that help us grow.
Pick your difficulty.
