The universe of challenge is relentless, and so must you be. Yes, being relentless is a grind, but look at your choices. Nothing stops. When you are free from a physical challenge for a moment, some intellectual, philosophical, or theological challenge engulfs you. When you feel secure in your logic and belief, you stub a toe, bruise an elbow, or have a bad hair day. The teabag of challenge steeps in your life.
What’s a person to do? Constant challenges surround, some new and others old. And then you realize that you, like the rest of the universe, challenge in some way everyone around you. Even when you believe you are the steady, unchallenging force in life, you face the struggle to maintain the steadiness, and others face the struggle to keep up, or change, or contest. The challenges are relentless, and challenges necessitate changes for anyone who wishes to survive, maintain, or evolve.
Others, of course, do challenge you to become a character that is less challenging, more predictable, easier to deal with, just as you challenge them. Sometimes you think you might succumb, that you have only so much energy, and that it’s time to stop resisting. However, the universe of challenge never stops, regardless of your attitude, action, or inaction. So, you might think about weighing your choices.
Being relentless appears to be your best defense against a relentless universe. You can stop facing challenges when you leave this world. For now, facing challenges defines your existence. Rethink your philosophy. Rethink your theology. Rethink your behavior. Not necessarily to change them radically, but to maintain your defense against the relentless challenges the universe presents.
