I Challenge You! Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Education , Globalization   Opinions

  

It is difficult to put a challenge on paper. I would much rather stand in front of you, looking eye to eye, and give you my challenge. Using my imagination, that is exactly what I am doing now. I picture you standing in front of me. I have a friendly smile on my face, a smile of confidence. I am standing there saying, "I challenge you!"

I challenge you, young woman and young man who think you are only average to become a leader in your school, city, state and nation.

I challenge you, young ladies and gentlemen, to make life obey you, not you to it. I challenge you to do the extraordinary, uplifting things.

I challenge you, straight "A" student, to raise your standards even higher than they are now. Become a leader and motivator to others and show them a path to higher achievement. Extend a friendly, helping hand.

I challenge you, wonderful young people who work at a job you hate, to strike out into the world of business and entrepreneurship. Do what you love to do, find out how successful people shape their lives, plan their happiness and make their money and you do the same with great satisfaction.

I challenge you, who have seen nothing but depression, sadness, lack, fear, abuse, control alcoholism, drugs, manipulation and other negative experiences to find in yourself the key to open a new door in your life, to choose new positive experiences, and open up to once and for all create the life you deserve!

I challenge you, young people, who waste half the day on the weekends sleeping in, to rise in the morning full of spirit and energy to attack the day and give it your best to improve yourself.

I challenge you, young girl or boy not content with your physique to make that decision to build in 12 weeks the best body about which you dream.

I challenge you, those who just drift through life, to see every minute of everyday as an opportunity, as a new fresh excitement, as a new way to be the person you want to be.

I challenge you, to find your passion and leave a legacy to help change the world.

I challenge you, whomever you are, to share with other young individuals in your life, the fruits of your success. Catch a passion for helping others and a richer life will come back to you.

"I dare you, who think life is humdrum, to become involved. I dare you who are weak to become strong; you who are dull to be sparkling; you who are slaves to be kings."

- William Danforth
Author, "I Dare You!"

______________________________________________

My challenge is to YOU, the youth of the nation. I challenge all of you to rise to a higher level of living. Be the best in everything that you do. Always try your best, always be striving for a new challenge, new success, or a higher plateau in your life. Stop letting life control you! Become a force that this world has never seen before. It doesn't matter what age, what sex, or what background you have experienced.

As I see it, life should be lived to its fullest. Each day we are given a new start, a new 24 hours. Every minute is a magnificent opportunity. Maybe you don't see exactly what I'm talking about right now. Maybe things aren't "right" in your life. Maybe it is even worse. I don't know your situation at this moment. But I do know that with the help of this program you can create, from this point on, the life that you want to live with happiness, joy, love, passion, energy, health and wealth. You can leave behind your current situations and issues. I do know that you have within you all of the potential for the success that you want and need, NOW.

I challenge you now to really digest the information on this web site and apply it to your life. Begin to see now that your life doesn't have to be what it is. Start a new journey. If you are already one of those few who dare to be great, who will let nothing get in your way, then I salute you. "Keep on keeping on" as my grandmother always said. But I challenge you to go even farther and strive to be even better.

I offer you this: if you learn to accept challenges and see all obstacles as only positive challenges in your life, then you will never be stopped. Challenges are fun and exciting!

Challenge yourself at the beginning of the day to have a better day than the last. You owe it to yourself. Take some time to reflect on the challenges that you can look forward to and the ones you are facing now. Accept them and overcome them. You are a challenge machine.

At the end of the day, reflect on what you have accomplished. Then, make positive plans for tomorrow.
