Vol.9 "Challenge makes us grow"

We usually like to go easy road- feel comfortable, not so challenging. We like someone gives us sweet words, someone listens to us, and says we are right. Yes, we need those people to nurture ourselves, however, we need people who challenge us as well. We think or belive certain way from our point of view and based on our experience. And we stay with people like us all the time. That does not make you grow or transform. We stay in the same place, same issues with the same people. 
But if we listen to someone who challenges you-- to go beyond your comfort zone-- can be disagreeing what you believe, can be different way to manage things, and asking you to change- or can be simply suggestion to try something different- but still we feel pain to accepting those, because that is not what you think or believe or prefer, and not comfortable-- but why not accepting those? 
as long as the disagreement or the change that the person is asking or the suggestions are coming from the true place- non ego place,  and serving you to expand or grow- that is a good challenge- In Yoga Sutra: "Accepting pain for purification" (Book2: sutra 1); burning gold make the gold more pure. The challenges are an oppotunity for us to grow and transform. Accepting pain for our transformation.
