Wow, that's a nice perspective you are bring to light now. I want to say success should encompass both rich emotional life and financial stability.Zelinda wrote:Even though I think that challenges are essential in order to grow, I'm not sure that success is dependent upon them. I know of too many "successful" man-children to understand that challenges were ever a factor in their lives. I guess you'd have to define growth and success also. I'm seeing growth as maturity, introspection, compassion, love. If success means having a rich emotional life because of that kind of growth, then I would say it's necessary for success also.

So true Rachel1019. If life is all about challenges, life might become boring. Good experiences are also needed to spies it up.Rachel1019 wrote:I think that challenges can help a person to grow faster, but I don't think that they are necessary for growth. I think a person has the ability to become a better person through good experiences, as well as through challenging times.

Thanks Christina O Phillips. You just simplified it.Christina O Phillips wrote:I think without challenges it is easy to just coast through life, doing things the easy way, not having to make any changes or adaptations. Challenges help us grow and to learn more about ourselves.

Now if you aren't implementing the changes necessary to grow and succeed, you're really just acting in your own disinterest. Work for yourself, and push yourself, rather than stay stagnant. Be okay with making mistakes!

You just nailed it. "If you aren't making mistakes, you're not growing, and if you're not growing, you're dead!".Rebecca Henderson wrote:Challenges are definitely needed for growth and success! If you aren't making mistakes, you're not growing, and if you're not growing, you're dead! Everyone has a ton to learn in this life and it's best if we respect that and help each other out. It doesn't do any good to expect others to automatically know what they are supposed to do and assume they know what is necessary. Communication is key to growth and success as well. Communicating progress and updates on knowledge freshens the memory and keeps everyone on their toes.
Now if you aren't implementing the changes necessary to grow and succeed, you're really just acting in your own disinterest. Work for yourself, and push yourself, rather than stay stagnant. Be okay with making mistakes!

So true. We need challenges to spore us up.Atabon Della wrote:They are not only needed, they are inevitable. I don't think any one can say that they went through life successfully without facing any challenges, it's not possible. So yes, challenges are a stepping stone to success. They prepare you for your best.

So I would amend the statement to this: Challenges are the nutrients that enable a person to grow on their journey to success.
