In this episode, Kelsey dives into the concept of challenges and their role in personal growth and evolution. She shares insights on how challenges can propel us forward and the importance of recognizing the opportunity cost of not taking them on. Kelsey discusses four essential questions to ask yourself when deciding whether to embrace a challenge: Will it bring you closer to your goals? Can the same result be achieved another way? Does the challenge help you develop desired skills? What might you miss out on if you don’t pursue it? Through these reflections, Kelsey encourages listeners to embrace growth, evaluate their paths, and take actionable steps toward personal development.
