Empowerment

"You don’t want to be in a place where there’s no challenge. You might even quit your job if there’s no challenge. Say, ‘Well, that’s a good job. It gives you security,’ and you think, ‘God, I can’t stand this. It’s eating away at my soul. It’s all security and no challenge.’ So why do you want a challenge? Because that’s what you’re built for. You’re built to take on a maximal load, right? Because that’s what strengthens you, and you need to be strong because life is extraordinarily difficult."
