Today's value topic is challenge. This is life's way of making sure that what you truly desire is the thing that you're chasing. How often have you announced, “Universe, I want this!" And then it playfully tested you back with, “Do you really?" Imagine a world of no effort, discipline or commitment, yet every wish was fulfilled. Think how overwhelmingly meaningless and trivial that would be, how painfully empty life would feel. You would be deprived of the right to struggle to learn. Consider a challenge that you have in your life currently. What can you learn about yourself from it? What does it say about something you truly desire and how does that measure up to what you are currently chasing?
