The experience which causes us to grow are the ones in which we are challenged to push ourselves past our previously perceived limits. Strength is built in the response to a challenge. A weightlifter must lift heavier and heavier weights in order to increase their strength. There is no other way. The more magnificent the accomplishment, the more daunting are the challenges which must be overcome.

The challenges you face provide a pathway to excellence. They are difficult and they will bring out the best in you. To be the best you must be willing to face the biggest challenges. You can certainly do that! Stepping up to a challenge is what makes champions!

Are you ready and willing? It's up to you.
