What is a life challenge?
If you are alive and on earth school then it is not possible to live a life without any challenges. How much you suffer and if you suffer at all is your choice and it is very much dependent on your mindset. What exactly is a life challenge?
It is whenever you find yourself in unfamiliar circumstances or situations in life that your brain finds unsafe because it’s number one goal is your survival and safety.

You may be wondering, what is one of the hardest challenges in life? Let’s discuss that next.
What is the hardest challenge in life?
One of the hardest challenges in life I believe is losing a loved one and the grief that you suffer. It is very hard to function and everyone takes a different amount of time to deal with such a thing.
We all get very attached to our loved ones and forget that like them we are all a soul that is having a temporary human experience in this body and have to return to that form one day.
Have you ever found yourself saying “why does God put us through challenges?” Let’s find out the answer to this question
Why God Put Us Through Challenges?
God has given you free will and does not put you through challenges. You were not made to live your life as a victim and have full responsibility and power to create your life from your karma.
You forget your strength, and power and therefore unconsciously create a life that you did not want. You error in forming an identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, behaviour, words, personality, habits, and ultimately our destiny.
God is always here to guide, nudge and give you strength to deal with any of these challenges and lessons that you need to learn through your challenges whenever you connect and ask for it.
Always remember whenever you do not feel good and joyful you are being guided and alerted by your emotions that you have errored in your thoughts and are not aligned to the true nature of your soul which is peace, love, purity, joy, wellbeing, abundance, and compassion.

We often wonder why we have to go through so many challenges in life and why is life so unfair. You must go through life challenges so you can transform your life.
Let’s discuss 10 reasons why challenges are necessary and important in life.
Help You Grow
Challenges help you learn lessons, grow into a better person, and transform your life. Growth is necessary because it is always on the other side of comfort. A butterfly has to go through a painful process of pushing itself out of a cacoon to transform into a beautiful butterfly.
Challenges make you more conscious of your strength and help you fulfill your purpose. The purpose of every human being is to grow and serve others.
Make You Humble
Challenges make you humble and accepting of the fact that no one is spared from life challenges while on earth school. Everyone is connected, the same, and will go through challenges despite their colour, race, social status, size, gender, etc. Our Soul came to this earth to learn lessons, grow, and serve others.
Build Your Confidence
You build confidence as you learn to deal with different challenges in your life. You will know that, like everything else, this period will pass too. You will realize your life is full of infinite possibilities. You are bigger than any problem and can therefore conquer it. Always remember that you are a powerful soul.
Give You Strength And Courage
When you experience challenges you become stronger, courageous, and resilient. You learn to keep functioning and going despite what’s happening. You can control some things but not everything. Do not worry about things that are not in your control like other people and outer circumstances.
Learn to live an emotionally independent life and change your attitude about challenges instead. Know everything in life happens for a reason including challenges as they are here to teach you a lesson. Also remember sometimes you have to stay in the storm to see the rainbow at the end of it.
Help You Develop Mental Strategies
You develop mental strategies as you deal with the challenges and fear that you face to continue to function in life and continue to fulfill your obligations. You could learn to meditate, pray, spend time out in nature, get help, and speak to a friend or therapist. These strategies will help you deal better with other challenges that you may face in the future.
Makes You Better
You will become a bigger and better higher version of yourself as you go through many challenges in life. You realize that who you are is much more powerful than any challenge out there. You are a powerful soul that has come from a powerful creator. You are connected to and are like your creator and have access to this power, intelligence, and strength.
Gives You Better Ability To Help Others
As you grow and transform your life after going through your challenges, you are better equipped and able to help others who are going through similar challenges. You can help reduce their suffering and difficulties as you teach them the strategies you developed when you went through similar challenges.
Increase Your Ability And Desire To Dream Big
Once you realize your capability to conquer your challenges, you will be more inclined to dream big and have big goals for your best life. You will have the self-belief and aim to live a life full of possibilities that is fulfilling and meaningful.
Motivate You To Align With Your Creator
The challenges that you conquer will make you more conscious of your truth and higher self and you will be motivated to align with this version of yourself more and more. You will also want to live a more purposeful and impactful life in alignment with your creator’s guidance and use your unique gifts in the service of others. You will have less desire to live an ego-centered life.
Develop Trust
You will be able to develop trust in yourself and your creator once you learn to successfully deal with your challenges. Your creator and universe always have your back and are here to nudge you to learn the lessons and return to your purposeful path by providing loving guidance via your inner wisdom and intuition.
