Hi careguarden.I think the biggest challenge is to live in the present moment.We either brood over the past or fear the future.But in real sense the present is usually the best which we fail to enjoy.The moment one learns to live in the present, all the problems disappears and life becomes really easy.

Yeah, you're right, we often troubled of our past that we can't change and of our future that we can't see, that we tend to ignore of the present that we only have. I sometimes feel the same thing,as I can't help. And I realized I only wasted my time and energy. If all people learn to value and appreciate the present moment then their life will always be bright. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

life's biggest challenge is to live it fully everyday.there are lots of things that hinder us to live our life to the fullest.we are stressed over work or school deadline that we don't appreciate everyday anymore.we are stressed over peers or colleagues that we don't like,not remembering that we have people in our lives who love us truly.we are stressed over financial obligations that we forget that the best things in life are free.

Yeah,we all trapped in that kind of feeling and thinking. That often times we take for granted of the people and things that's more essential in our life. We are troubled of those people that we don't like, that when we got home, we tend to ignore those people who love us. And so as the things that you've mentioned. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy the rest of the weekends!

I think the biggest challenge in life is "war". But it's not war like fight the colonizer to get national freedom.The war to fighting your self. Because Human has many desire.Generally, only few people who could to have a command over. so, God ask human to fasting.

Hey careguarden! I think that lifes biggest challenge is to live life to the fullest and be the best person that you can be! That means to be loving, forgiving, willing to help others, sacrificing for the sake of others, being honest, being true to oneself, caring for those who can't care for themself like animals! And do as much as you can to take each day as it comes, one day at a time because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us!

i think it's acceptance of how life really is at its worse...accepting the fact that humans live only to die, that nothing and no one is perfect in this world, that there is joy but there is also pain,...things like that are hard to accept, and my faith and belief in a supreme being helps me to accept these things with the hope that someday, things will be changed for the better.

yeah, I agree with all that you've mentioned. It's hard to accept that we live just to die, and we love just to be hurt, that there can be no joy without pain. That we only have two choices to either live or die, nothings in between. That only gain faith through pain. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy the rest of the weekends!

Hi careguardian, To be able to perform our mission in life in the best possible way is for me the biggest challenge. Sometimes I forget that each of us is special and I find it hard not to resent those who are difficult to love. I get angry with those who have no respect for other human beings. I've always asked for God's help on this matter because I find this an obstacle in doing the things that I have to do. If we can follow the Golden Rule, life would be easier for all of us. But, life wasn't meant to be easy. We have to go through tests and be able to pass these tests in order to attain perfection. So, help me God! God bless you, too, careguardian.

Hello my friend, yeah, you're right, the greatest challenge is to able to fulfill and achieved our mission here on earth and that's to love one another, especially the unlovable, to forgive the unforgivable and always do kindness to one who doesn't care. Those were the greatest test that often we fail, only those who are humble and have great faith in God can make it through. Yeah, life isn't easy but we can make it through as long as we have faith in God, because in Him everything is possible. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy the rest of the weekends!

LOL - my first response to this is - getting up in the morning. Okay in all seriousness - the biggest challenge is having the courage to make it through the day and helping others along the way.
