Providence has hidden a charm in difficult undertakings, which is appreciated only by those who dare to grapple with them.
-Anne-Sophie Swetchine, 1869

Ah! Doesn’t this explain it! When we accept a challenge, work through it to the other side, then we understand and appreciate the growth that comes as our reward. It’s easy to shrug off a challenge, to think that it’s too big of a risk, that it could be a waste of our time. But to tackle a challenge, to grapple with it, leads us to a place where we discover just what we are capable of, and that is beautiful.
