Challenges, The Path To Transformation
There has never been a human being on Earth who has not lived, however short or to a slight degree, a challenge. We know that challenge is everything that makes us question its effects and how to resolve them. It is an invitation from life so that we can show our abilities to seek to know what is above the visible capabilities we have already demonstrated, allowing us to face the unknown and thus acquiring an expansion in our capabilities, knowledge and resilience.
It can also be seen as competition over a rival, so to speak, where we want to prove that we are more capable of what we have been proposed to do. This behavior is common in games, for example.
Whatever the challenges, we know very well that it is not easy for anyone to accept and overcome, since we are fallible and limiting beings in understanding the purpose of life in our journey. We are always questioning considering, in some cases, that we do not deserve such a challenge, that life is not fair, etc.
We will find aspects in life that we will need to overcome in order to grow on various scales. Our life is formed by several cycles, in which different types of challenges are presented so that we can, through them, become truly wise.
How many times have we faced challenges that we were able to resolve quickly and clearly, but others dragged on for long periods and even repeated themselves, leading us to disbelieve in our own capacity, or even to not understand why they are in our path.
In situations like this, we often close ourselves suffocated for not finding the desired solutions, considering ourselves incapable, fragile, defeated, and we run away from everyone and ourselves, allowing sadness to convince us that we are not lucky in life, because everything seems convince us that we are destined to fail. We get even worse if someone criticizes us and points to others as an example of overcoming difficulties, with the intention of making it clear that we are not capable.
If we consider that we have learned through the lessons, we will see this opportunity in the challenges, seeking to understand what they want to teach us so that we can become better in whatever area they are present.
It is certain that everyone who knew how to accept them and overcome them became better than before. We know that some of them were the result of choices we made in a conscious way, but there are undoubtedly those that we already bring to our history, who, even not understanding their causes at first, want to teach us to grow in all aspects of life.
We need to look at challenges as a gift, taking a longer look at them without judging whether we are better or worse than others, whether they are fair or not, but unique in our time and understanding, carefully seeking to understand what they mean to us to achieve our goals, or to rise in consciousness.
Therefore, we must consider them as the real opportunity for us to achieve the transformation, which will never be only external, but essentially internal, which allows us the true changes when we absorb them with understanding. We can face a big windstorm inside and outside of us in the face of the challenges in life, but only through them do we grow and transform ourselves.
