Why should you look forward to challenges?

I have never worked at a place that did not present challenges. I don't think there is any place you can work that does not present challenges. The reality is that it is the challenges that make you better, that make you stronger for the long run, that ultimately lead to success. If you show me someone who has not been challenged, I'll show you someone that is headed to failure. You don't make Marines by going to the spa and many great businesses rose from the ashes of previous unsuccessful attempts.

That being the case, don't you think that we should embrace challenges? Look forward to the  challenges? Realize that those challenges are how we're going to get better? And as a leader, it is important to challenge those who work for you and as a good teammate it's important to challenge those who you work with. If you go in with the mindset of embracing challenges how much happier will you be when they come then going in with the mindset of dreading them?
