1. We grow through challenging ourselves.
Challenges teach us new things, and our skills and abilities grow the more we challenge ourselves.
Imagine doing everything for your child, all the way through high school. You’ve just trained him to rely on you for everything and he won’t be ready to take on the world.
But, what if you taught him all you know? Like fixing a flat tire or replacing a sprinkler head or painting a room or cooking dinner, cleaning the toilet? He’ll be more prepared to take on the world and he won’t need you to handle his problems.
2. We get stronger through adversity.
Contact with viruses and germs builds our immune system. If you live in a bubble, you’re going to suffer more when you come into contact with these.
3. We develop confidence through completion.
“The more you do, the more you can do.”
4. We can achieve our goals.
A great challenge can help you achieve your goals in poker and in life. For example, your goal is to play 5,000 hands in October. 5,000 hands / 31 days = 162 hands/day. Challenge yourself to play 162 hands per day. If you do it, you will achieve your goal.
