A short YouTube excerpt (speaker: Lori Harder) arguing that challenge is necessary for happiness and growth. Harder reframes difficult moments as the work that shapes the person you want to become, advising that solving current business challenges is required before more or different opportunities can be handled.
You actually need challenge to be happy. I think that was a really huge shift for me in the last two years. Instead of these challenges that come and they suck and they're no fun, and, oh, my God, why can't I have more wins? It's like, oh, those are the things that are turning me into the person that I actually see in my head. And, like, I want to be that person so bad, but the only way to do it is to sit here and solve this. If you're not solving it in this business, no new business is going to bring you a different set of fun challenges. It's like, we have to solve the ones right here to become the person who can handle more.
