Why Do People Like A Challenge?

Difficult challenges cause stress and frustration. Sticking to what's easy is so much... easier. Why would anyone enjoy a challenge?

  • Probably something to do with the chemicals released in our brains during intense concentration on a difficult task, particularly the aftermath.

    • It's satisfying I guess. Like in a puzzle, the satisfaction comes from the "A-ha!" Moment. When all the pieces fit.

      • It's because when completing a task your brain releases dopamine the harder the task the more dopamine

        • It's the good kind of stress. Eustress, as it is referred to, comes from things such as competition and challenges. This helps us to develop and learn.

          • To challange ones self and see just what you can do with this life your given is the one thing that keeps us strong. In times of tragedy the week will fall but the strong will prevail. Why would you not want to challange your self, how do you accomplish any thing in life with out first over coming a challange?

                I like challenges because they reassure me that I'm a badass after I beat them.

                • It depends on the challenge, frankly. It depends on what type of motivation is driving you. It depends on what type of challenge it is. No doubt, you could say that walking on a broken leg is a challenge. It's a painful, unfun, stressful challenge. This, is a challenge out of neccessity. When it's a neccessary challenge that you have no say in, that you can't avoid, then you are absolutely correct. However, there is a second kind of challenge. Self challenge. A conscious or even unconscious push and drive, of your own choice and your own free will. For example, self learning, or self teaching yourself. While yes, there will be points in time where it's stressful and difficult, if you are doing the challenge because you want to, because you're after something, then even if the challenge is difficult, the end justifies the means. The satisfaction gained, is incomparable to a challenge out of neccessity. I gain no satisfaction from recovering over being sick, or being hurt, or injured. However, at the end of a day, when I can feel that my body obviously disagrees with the amount of work I did for the day, the satisfaction I gain from seeing, visible progress on work, feeling and knowing that it's me who is improving in some quality, then whatever pain there is means nothing. The true good things in life don't come easy. They never do. And that's what makes them worth it. Because it's not a challenge out of neccessity. It's a challenge of your own choosing. It is fire that you walk into willingly, to come out on the other side with a smile, knowing all along that you had it in you, that you had the ability to try, and you succeeded.

                • I push myself through challenges all the time because I have goals I need to obtain so I can have my end vision become a reality. So bottom line: motivation and goals

                  Difficult challenges open up opportunities to achieve greatness. A world without difficulty pulls the struggle of life down to mediocrity. Life void of challenge implies equality. Equality eliminates all opportunities to achieve greatness.

                • Easy isn't easy. It's tedium incarnate. It's boring. It's dull. Challange brings life, it brings adventure. Challange allows you to see what your made of, and how strong you really are. Challange is rewarding, and it gives you a sense that taking the easy road just wont.
