There's this famous quote that can spark an interest to challenge yourself within you: "If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you." Of course, since everyone of us has rooms for improvement, this can also mean that if you don't change yourself, then you can't also be responsible for changing your situation in life.
You can never see any improvement in your life if you stick to your comfort zone. We all need a healthy dose of normal stress in our lives, after all.
We can only see what we're really capable of if we make the effort to go over our pre-conceived limits.
Don't limit the challenges that you encounter in life - challenge the limits that your "lizard brain" crafted instead:
1. Learn a new language.
Hangul, Nihonggo, French, Filipino, Mandarin, Spanish: these are just some of the languages that you can discover as you strive to challenge yourself. Learning a new language isn't just another way to pad your resume; if you really get into it, you can even use this skill to tutor on the side and earn some extra cash.
With all the fun apps and quirky software all over the Internet, you don't even need to attend an offline class anymore. Try Duolingo, for starters.
2. Figure out what you're scared of - and do it for one week consistently.
If you're in sales, and you're scared of talking to people personally or even over the phone, then you have a problem. You can't just relate with your clients online, can you?
Now, instead of crippling in fear and automatically thinking that you'll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call to a prospect. Yes, it's scary. Yes, you may embarrass yourself. And yes, someone may hang up on you. But don't stop on the firs...

... living room can do wonders for yourself. Aside from the obvious reason that exercise can help you maintain your regular weight or shed those unnecessary pounds, it can also aid in making you feel better about yourself by releasing endorphins.
7. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
We're not talking about the expensive kind of travelling here.
Something cost-effective like going to your local museum or visiting the resort in the next city can all count as travelling! Here, don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers - try to connect with the service staff, like the lifeguard, or the receptionist, or the tour guide. You never know what kind of people they're going to be.
Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. Start now and learn to challenge yourself from time to time. We all need a little push once in a while.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, A well known author , wrote a quote stating " Unless you try to do something beyond what you have mastered , you will never grow ". This statement speaks true volume because you are not challenging yourself to improve the skill sets that you have and your are limiting yourself to what you can actually achieve. His quote should be used as an inspirational guideline to help encourage others to go beyond what they have already accomplished. Getting involved in certain activities or even trying something new can allow people to explore their potential in ways they would have never done prior. In order for someone to challenge themselves they should figure out new ways to improve their overall demeanor.

even begin to question humanity and what it means to be human, just like people
The human condition obstructs you from awakening to the reality that your true nature, the one that does not suffer nor crave, is present. Your physical body, your psychological disposition, your upbringing and everything else that you learned as you tread the path of human consciousness make you cling to limitations. At this moment, you are bound by your own perception of limits. You think and feel that everything that happens will stop once you reach the limit. You feel the same when thinking about your own potential, your energy and even your wisdom.

My father decided he wanted to drive and judge a debate tournament my freshman year. This was his second time doing judging and driving. It was Public Forum, LD, parliamentary state qualifiers in Oceanside. My father finished judging and wanted to leave. My partner Holley Parsons and I were watching a speech round. I was marked down for texting. My father came in and removed me, my parent and another girl by the name of Jade Hovel from the room. He was angry and called me a stupid ignorant whore and we started going home. He continues to yell and ended up swerving off the road to hit me. That night I was not allowed to go back to my grandmas. He slammed me into the wall in the hallway. The next day Holley and Jade reported my father and as

Not to mention that I also realized that as the world becomes more globalized learning foreign languages will become a requirement to get a good job and not simply a plus. During my quest of understanding the global benefits that learning foreign languages has on people, I realized through various sources that I collected, that learning foreign languages does not simply improve your linguistic abilities and increase opportunities. In fact it is also the best way to improve and preserve your cognitive abilities. In particular for people who are fluent in multiple languages.
As parents, the birds-and-the-bees talk with their child/children is one of the most dreaded points of their parenthood that they have to face. As a result, many parents tend to refrain from introducing their children to the subject altogether, and may end up backfiring with the generation of youth having to learn everything regarding to the birds-and-the-bees on their own. Though there are sex education classes in schools that teach the dos, don’ts, and dangers of the birds-and-the-bees, they tend to only scratch the surface of the subject, leaving the children with more questions rather than answers. That is why it is imperative that the parents take the initiative to teach their children about the birds-and-the-bees themselves.

By increasing blood flow, exercise helps nourish skin cells and keep them vital. "Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to working cells throughout the body, including the skin," says Marmur. However, it is surprising to know that exercise also sets the foundation for a healthy, happy sex life. Yep, the elliptical can do more than tone your derriere; it can also improve your relationship and intensify your orgasms. In a recent study of women who successfully lost weight, 68 percent said they now considered themselves sexually attractive, while just 26 percent felt that way before their weight loss. The change was evident in their sex lives — 63 percent said they felt self-conscious about being seen naked when they were heavier, while only 34 percent still felt that way once the weight came off.
