So true, challenges can really be scary, but we most times get the better from it.Fictions Mistress wrote:Great question! Yes, challenges are needed in order to grow and succeed. Without challenges or obstacles, we wouldn't need to step outside of our comfort zone. As scary as it can be, it is necessary.

As a popular quote have it, experience is the best teacher. We actually learn from it. Thanks.EveS523 wrote:I think that challenges are essential to success. Without challenges we do not learn about ourselves - our personal strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes. You learn from experiences and grow as a person.

Nice one.walkingfreckle wrote:I think that success is not necessarily accompanied by challenges. There are some cases in which you can succeed without facing challenges. But I think it's interesting to take into account that challenges lead to success in most cases.

Exactly, you pointed out a great point, challenge makes us grow but not necessarily make us successful. Thanksadinamurariu wrote:I think you can be successful without challenges. You can work and achieve your goals without encountering major difficulties in your way to success. But in order to grow and become a strong person, I think challenges have a great contribution.

Wow, Thanks for giving a good illustration. Wish you a nice stay in the new state.Miche Sora wrote:Challenges are absolutely necessary to grow. If there are no challenges, everything stays the same and you as a person stagnate. I changed my life for the better moving out of California. I'd never lived in a different state.
