How do you challenge yourself in life?

[Dis]

hey I tried to become moderator. Ming won't let me

Anyways life isn't challenging. I find life very easy. There's not challenge to it. That's my theory why people are so unhappy. It's so easy to survive now days, people have all this time to think how crappy their life is.

I'm actually getting kind of bored of computer games, and want to do something challenging.

I am going to start working out again. I haven't really worked out since the summer started. As for a diet, well that's one of the goals I have nearly completed. I'm almost at the weight I want to be. Losing weight is too easy.

A relationship would be challenging, but I'm trying to be realistic here.

It is a real challenge to get a weeks worth or work done in 1 day or evey 1 hour!!!

Save up and then go do a overseas charity project or something. Something totally different from your usual lifestyle. I'm hoping this'll work anyway.

That's why I was thining about college, but I don't really enjoy the college atmosphere, and I'm still not sure I want to do it. But I already know I'm the smartest human alive, it would be nice to have a piece of paper to prove it.

As for making more money, well that's a worthy challenge. Though making massive amounts of money doesn't interest me much. There is this level between what I'm making now and say $100,000 a year, there is very little difference. I can already afford everything I need. I would need to make millions to satisfy any luxery wants I have (buying my own carribean island etc ). And that isn't realistic- unless I hit megabucks jackpot.

I also like hiking and will never climb everest (which is technical climbing anyway, not hiking) My current hiking goal is to climb Old Rag, the most challenging mountain anywhere close to DC. I could probably do it now, the main limitation is setting aside the time for it.

I also have a goal of making it to king on poly - and doing so only with genuine, substantive posts.

have a kid - at least 18 years of challenges

[Dis]

I would like to have a kid, but I'm missing a key component.

I also have the challenge of making Diety on Apolyton. But that is a difficult one to do without getting post count reductions that set me back.

I don't challenge myself. I want to enjoy life, not create extra responsibilities.

Hey i used to do that in school!

[Soul Survivor]

Read an Act from a Shakespeare play each night until you've finished them all.

Run 7 miles a day.

Listen to as much music as humanly possible.

Thats just a few of the things I've tried

[st_swithin]

Write something, everyday. Doesn't matter if it's a grocery list - just write.

The running will turn at least one of your knees into a rotting grapefruit. At least, that's what mine did. Walking or swimming will put a lot less stress on your joints.

Make as much music as you possibly can, whenever you 'feel the moment.' Don't worry about trying to 'capture the moment' because the harder you try, the farther off you get.

Intention and outcome are estranged bedfellows. Kinda like me and my ex.

Haha, me too... I do it at work too. I have about 6 projects to do, and I was told I had till the end of the year to do them so I have been lounging on them... Boss told me last Wednesday that we should try and get them all done by October!!!

Well, that ain't going to happen, I hope "try" means "get a lot closer to actually starting"

[st_swithin]

As long as it's not in England, Italy or France, I'm game.

I could use a job - preferably one whose Executive Producer, Producer, and Director aren't total fvckwits. Partial fvckwittery is to be expected, but complete fvckwittery is unacceptable.

Then make the money in an interesting way.

Buy a racehorse, make it a champion.

Start one of those adventure outfitting businesses.

Smuggle migrant workers.
