3· Challenge your own thinking. Here’s why:
- According to my experience, we’re either improving or degrading. If we think we stagnate, we’re in fact degrading. And the best way to improve is to challenge ourselves.
- Most people wait for the external circumstances to challenge them, but that’s not the best strategy. Be the one who challenge yourself. Become your own challenger. That’s how you raise your own bar, instead of depending on the benchmark set by people around you.
- You can probably think about someone who seems to rise above the competition, enjoys doing his things and produces incredible results. I guess that’s simply because he doesn’t wait for the environment to challenge him.
- In the past 7 days, I’ve challenged the way I balance discipline and flow, my understanding about capitalism and examined my morning rituals. I don’t go into the minute details here, but that’s literally what I did. I shared my insights of self-challenge with my wife yesterday, while I was driving around the town.
- When you challenge yourself, you don’t have to announce to the world. Know your purpose. Growth happens internally, and improvement manifests externally. Don’t challenge yourself with the objective to impress people. Impress yourself instead. Over time, you’ll find challenging yourself fulfilling.
