I love a challenge.

I think the biggest reason is a challenge gives me an opportunity to grow. When life gets a little too stagnant, I need to mix it up.

Some people roll their eyes, but when we’re younger, we always expect to hit this plateau in life. There’s always that “point ahead” where everything is “smooth sailing.”

In some ways, we do develop into a rhythm and continue on that way for years. Then we complain we’re bored and life has lost its excitement.

However, life never actually plateaus and we can either look for the next challenge, or appreciate the ones we’ve already gone through.

To do anything else is to take away from the richness of what life has to offer.
