Challenging does not always mean it has to be hard. It can also mean that it goes against conventional wisdom. Challenge the accepted limits. Challenge the Status Quo. Challenge your self-imposed boundaries.
Jim Rome (national sports radio talk show host), in responding to the aggressive style of John Stockton (Past All-Star guard of the Utah Jazz) and the reports of how maybe Stockton "got away" with aggressive defense and aggressive offensive moves, simply stated:
"If you ain't cheating, you're not trying."
If you are not willing to push it, you're holding back. If you're holding back, you are not reaching your potential. If you are not reaching your potential, you are not experiencing true success. True success is not natural. It must challenge you, push you, make you go beyond that which you would have normally accomplished.
I'm not saying you need to be a cheater to get ahead. Nor am I saying anything about being unethical or immoral (see S*U*C*C*E*S*S- Spirituality). I am, however, saying if you play by the limits, fears, and comfort zones by which everyone else plays, don't expect to reach the heights that are your personal success.
Ask a man a question, he'll give you an answer; Give that man a Blog and he'll spew for the rest of his life.
