Challenge = Exercise
Very few things come easy. I have asked myself why that is, so many times. Can we assume that there is a purpose for challenge and struggle? The gyms are filled with people who are working tirelessly to build strength, build endurance, and alter their body mass. Watch them pant; watch them sweat; watch them strain. Scrabble clubs are filled with people who are working tirelessly to build their word knowledge, recognize word patterns, and develop strategies to become more frequent winners. Watch them ponder; watch them close their eyes and visualize; watch them strain.
‘Difficulty strengthens the mind . . . .
as labor does the body.‘
Scientists know Newton’s Laws of Motion: ‘To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.’ If we care to look, we can witness that the same law applies to so many of the pieces within our lives. Take action in the gym and there will result physical reactions to our labor. Take an action related to study and a level of growth, in knowledge, will occur as well.
That’s how it works. It’s all your choice.
