"Challenges make life interesting. Overcoming them makes life meaningful." Mark Twain

I am not sure that interesting is the word that most of us would normally use to describe challenges. Certainly when we are faced with them they seem more frustrating than interesting. The reality is that there is little growth without challenges. In sports a superstar is defined by the challenges that they overcome. We celebrate the underdogs because they are able to succeed despite the tremendous obstacles that seem to block their path. When a team wins a game you they were expected to win, the predominant feeling is relief. When that same team overcomes tremendous odds to emerge victorious they are joyful. While most of us prefer to avoid the discomfort that challenges create, there is a sense of exhilaration that comes from tackling the difficult challenges and emerging battered and bruised perhaps but victorious. Life is full of challenges but if we are able to approach them positively and view them as growth opportunities rather than roadblocks our lives will be more meaningful and we can become what we are capable of being. Be grateful for the challenges for in them your strength is born.

All of us need help to overcome the challenges and grow as individuals and business owners.   A coach can give you the confidence to overcome your fears and move forward into the unknown.   If you want to find out what you are capable of becoming give me a call at 703 445-3133.  You will be glad that you did
