Is it letting go of the things that you believe bring you comfort but in reality control you and hold you back? Like the way alcohol controls an alcoholic. Being able to stay true to yourself and your goals even though the pressure to quit is great?

Hello!
Perhaps conquering one's one will is the greatest challenge! In life we contemplate on many things, or as we like to call it, choices. Sometimes we make the right ones, & sometimes we make the wrong ones.
Hence I come to the conclusion that conquering oneself is the greatest challenge, for we can lie to others but not to ourselves!
Regards,
Vinay

Getting out of bed in the morning and try making it to the shower. The greatest Challenge i think is to abolish interest rates so what ever you borrow from a bank u only have to pay back what u borrowed that would be the life

That's a very interesting question because those who make a profession of finding eternal fulfillment (monks and yogis) actually give up their goals and ambitions to find the true self. So you are really asking a deep question here. Perfect surrender is truly the ultimate challenge.

Survival is the greatest challenge in life followed closely by being a parent.

Hi,
I think the greatest challenge IN LIFE is done by your own body, it is all done subconsciously, that challenge is 'living'.
The amount of things that your body has to do to survive one day of your life is incalculable and yet the majority of these things are are done without us being conscious of their happening.
It is the miracle of life.
It also happens to be the greatest challenge FOR MANKIND.
To be able to create life from nothing.
I do not think they will ever achieve it and to be quite honest I hope they never do.

Yes. To return to the pure awareness of being - despite the egoic learned identity - which makes you susceptible to external pressures is the only REAL challenge.
But, its worth every stumble because the outside reality will synchronize with that stabilized internal state of being.

The greatest challenge is acceptance.... the ability to take everything that happens with equanimity and at the same time keeping alive the will and enthusiasm to move forward.

Realising that simply experiencing life is the most amazing thing we can possibly achieve.
