---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Where there is challenge, there is progress.
Where there is challenge, there is hope.
Where there is challenge, there is joy.
Where there is challenge, there is happiness.
Where there is challenge, there is victory.

"All things in the universe are constantly engaged in challenge.
Flowers strive to break through the deep snows to send up new sprouts.
Waves tirelessly crash against rocks on the shore, wearing them down.
Day after day, the sun bursts forth from the darkness and emerges joyously.
All things quietly and tenaciously persevere,
working unceasingly to fulfill their unique mission,
whether seen or unseen.
Challenge! Challenge! Challenge!
That is what it means to be alive."
