“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”
-Joshua J. Marine

Life! Life is filled with obstacles and challenges. Each day is a new game to play. You choose to either be crushed or fight to win.
Each day is filled with a different challenge or the same one with a different magnitude.  No one likes to fail, so we at least try to win, but for how long?  How long do you keep studying that topic hoping to grasp a bit of what it says? How often have you written the same exam hoping you’ll pass this time? Have you held on to a relationship believing it will work somehow? The list goes on. The extent to which we want to, and need to hold on to something determines the outcome of our choices.

Joshua J. Marine made a lot of sense when he said, “Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” What is life without challenges? What is victory without a battle? What is success without a test? So the next time you are faced with a challenge remember it is life. You are not the only one who is facing something, but your decision determines the outcome. Choose to fight, fight till you win.
