May Word of the Month: CHALLENGE

CHALLENGE is the word of the month for May.

      In our daily lives, with work, school, relationships, or even jiu-jitsu, it's not uncommon to see people allowing each day to slip through without a challenge. This month I would like for you to challenge yourself on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. What do I mean by this?
     Have something you can do on a daily basis; picking up trash you see on the road, jumping rope for 5min. every morning, or something as simple as drinking 5 glasses of water. Have something you can do on a weekly basis; Read for 1 hr. three times a week, go for a 30min. walk three times a week, or eat out only two times a week. Have something you can do on a monthly basis; Enter a 5k or 10k race, go to every jiu-jitsu practice, or take someone out on a date.
     A challenge doesn't always have to be difficult. The important thing about a challenge is that you make a conscious effort to do something to improve yourself or the community around you. Having a challenge should motivate you to become better and do better. Living a life without challenge is like living the same day over and over again. You need to challenge yourself if you want to have a sense of accomplishment or victory at the end of the day!
