CHALLENGE

The Art of Survival

“Challenge yourself.”

That’s what they said.

Sitting, looking, and trying to illustrate.

“Broke my…” No, no, no more thoughts of self-berate.

No, no, no. This has to be different.

The reiterated struggle makes others lose interest.

Write about the blue skies, the pretty people, how beautiful it is to be alive.

Write about something else, deep but not so emotionally steep. Write to revive!

Challenge yourself to truly be a writer, a newly-born fighter.

Challenge yourself to make others smile, make them explore into lands of mythical creatures and whimsical seekers. Sometimes they need something lighter.

Don’t just be the one who turns them into weepers.

Create a driven protagonist. One that is an active seeker.

Derive a sympathetic villain.

From a life of unsympathetic millions.

Introduce a loveable group of supporting characters.

Immerse them in a world of wander. Make them lively reactors.

“Challenge yourself,” let it play in repeat.

To make a difference, not just go with the sweep.

To make them appreciate differently, even what’s skin deep.

To make them find comfort in being unruly.

Pain exists, but you need to embrace your bully.

No, no, no, it’s not just turning the other cheek, that’s not worthwhile.

There so many pieces to sort through from the pile.

Give them reason to be willing to try. Challenge them to move past their cries.

Give them a book with a new chapter. Give them the end to their internal demise. Give them a manuscript with no further lies.

Give them the stories with a happy ending.

Give them the heroics their life is lamenting.

Give them the will to see past what’s before them.

Challenge them to be hopeful, to envision what needs to be found.

Challenge them to see the value in a frown turned upside down.

Challenge them to infect others with a smile.

Challenge them to get everyone riled.

Challenge them to set a foot inside their mental bound. Challenge them to see the melancholia and become dissuade.

Challenge them to speak in more than one way.

Challenge to write, paint, or make some artistic disarray.

Challenge them to be themselves in the most daring of ways. Challenge to once again play.

Challenge them to set aside their pasts, if even just for a day.

Challenge them to be what they need to be, to reap every benefit of what they pay.

Challenge them to see past their perspective.

Challenge them to accept that life is just a series of circumstances. They need to create a stream of objectives.

Challenge them to embrace the necessary change.

Challenge them to embrace their control, to give less and less in exchange.

Sometimes life feels abysmal.

Sometimes we need to put the petal to the metal, and challenge ourselves to do the dismissal.

Challenge ourselves to turn our release to something that makes us less and less weak.

“Challenge yourself,” let’s say it together! Challenge them to freely speak.

Challenge them to know the worth they have to offer. They’re not just a vessel for frowns and a force of sour commodore.

Challenge them to be what the world needs.

Challenge someone to save themselves from what the world reaps.

It’s the hardest feat, to look outside ourselves with purpose and say goodbye to what no longer serves us past the surface. Challenge them to create an advantage.

Challenge them to pursue their hardest feat. It’s not for those looking to temporarily escape; that’s not a challenge, that’s another accumulated disadvantage.

Challenge yourself to be world leader, one that sees life with a vantage point of “Let’s make things gleeful. Let’s make something, fuel the world with hope.”

Challenge yourself to do this for others, those who need the voice of more than a dictating pope.

Challenge everyone to see the bigger picture.

We have one life to live.

We have more life to give.

Challenge them to accept that they may not be what everyone seeks, but they can give a gateway away from distress.

Challenge them to think of ways for them to dress.

Challenge them to dress the world they want to live in.

Challenge them to be what others need to feed. A way of life for them to pin.

Challenge them to feed themselves, and the world so in need.

Challenge what it is to be.

Destroyed but ready to rise to your feet.

Challenge.

Challenge whatever you need to defeat.
