Q.Number 9 Challenge. Something that really made you grow this year. That made you go to your edge and then some. What made it the best challenge of the year for you?
A. Unfortunately, i cannot really publically write about this one. But there is only one thing i would want to write about if i could. It pushed me to the edge and the some in every way possible. It broke me, frustrated me, and actually caused those watery things to fall from my eyes (i actually rarely cry, i'm one of those tough people that often get asked if they are a robot. i'm working on it).
But, i do have to say, that however shitty (excuse my language) those months were, they tested me, and i came out a stronger, wiser and happier person. I was forced to push myself so hard that i almost gave up, i suppose that's where the term "silver lining" comes from. Because now that i feel like i am sitting on that mountain top drinking tea and watching the sun go down... i feel good. (strike that). I feel great. I feel proud, and successful, and capable of doing anything i set my mind to, no matter how impossible it may feel at the beginning, or how daunting the task/challenge may look.
And it's those times, the times where we think we just can't do what needs to be done, or that we don't know how to, that somehow the universe delivers something to us. A quote, a word, a peice of advice. Mind you, it is ultimately up to us to decide how we wish to use that something, or to even acknowledge that it's there. But it is. And it's how we come out of these situations that determine and shape our character, and help us grow into whoever it is that we are meant to be.
