“Challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful” this is a brilliant quote by Joshua J. Marine which has motivated me whenever I was feeling down and out in my life. Challenging ourselves to always achieve a level greater than what we expect is beneficial to not only our mental health, but also to our personal well-being. As we conquer challenges that stand in our way like roadblocks, refusing to allow our passing, we find confidence in our abilities. Confidence is such an important characteristic to finding the path to success. With confidence in your own work, comes the reward of the confidence of others in you. Boosting that confidence is the growing self-esteem, which results from tackling challenges.
One such challenge I faced in my life was when I was preparing for my CA-IPCC exam. Just 3 months before my examination I met with a horrible accident by which I was hospitalized for a week and was bed rested for almost 2 months. After the accident I lost all hope of clearing my exam but after talking to my family I regained my confidence and started preparing for the exam after 15 days of my accident. With a great amount of help from my friends, family and teachers I successfully cleared the examination and to my surprise I also secured an All India Rank of 27 in it.
This incident made me realize that even if there is tough time in your life you have to just work hard and you’ll find your way through it.
