We Aren't Defined by Achievements, Rather Challenges

Sometimes, we get caught up in believing that life is all about achieving results. We set
short and long-term goals almost every day, and they are great to have. After all, how good is it
to wake up every morning feeling motivated and eager? There’s just nothing like it!
We love to reach our goals. They show us just what we are capable of: landing that job,
getting that promotion, buying that house or car, winning the man or woman of our dreams. We
plan out and build our lives based on these large and small goals. However, does all of this really
define who we are?
Many of us would tend to think that it does. However, there is something even more
valuable than achievement. Can you guess what it is? It’s the ability to overcome challenges.
Ultimately overcoming what we see as painful is what makes us so much stronger.
What is behind this ability to overcome daily challenges?
1. A positive attitude.
Having a positive attitude is essential in overcoming any challenge. Maintaining strength
and hope gives us the energy to be courageous. It helps us believe in ourselves.
2. Facing challenges head on.
 The emptiness, threats, problems or losses with which we have had to battle on occasion,
are enemies that we deal with, but never back down from. Gather your strength, trust in
yourself and face them head on. Never run or back down from your problems.
3. Resilience.
Resilience is fundamental. It doesn’t matter how traumatic, complicated or devastating
an experience has been…we can learn from any difficult situation and come out stronger
because of it. There is nothing more rewarding than overcoming a threatening or stressful
situation with resilience.
4. Self-esteem.
How can we define self-esteem in a simple yet practical way? Self-esteem is the balance
where you can find confidence, self-respect, loving life and being content with what you
have and deserve.
5. Being in touch with your emotions.
Positive emotions help us prosper as well as “plant” us in our reality through empathy,
love, balance, well-being and emotional intelligence.
All of these factors are seeds that enhance our capacity to overcome challenges and this
one of the most rewarding things about being human. Put them into practice!
