“Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.”

“Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.” 1 Peter 4

Nothing is learned without a challenge. Overcoming a challenge in a sport or a relationship is the magic of all accomplishment. How boring life would be if we made every shot--if there was nothing to strive after. Learning is one of the joys of life, and challenge is one of the teachers. Challenge is to accomplishment what work is to reward. The mature attitude values the struggle to succeed as much as the success itself. Of course, to possess this attitude is its own challenge.
