Sure, I like to have good luck in life. Everyone does, but sometime I feel like if everything is too perfect all the time, there’s no challenge for me to actually mold me into a stronger and better person. Always having no challenges in life just seems like it’d be too easy and I’d never grow from any real experience. What do you guys think? I hope I don’t sound like some kind of masochist or anything, but this is a question I’ve been wanting to ask for a while now.
Like? Not so much. Need is another matter. I become bored fairly quickly if I'm not being challenged. That would be why I've been in live theatre for 35 years.
It takes challenges to get anything done and experience personal growth.

(Not sure the sourcing of this quote)
But if the times aren't hard, and you aren't forced to make those hard decisions, you'll never really know yourself, or who you could be rather.
No offense, but that seems to me a very first world notion.
I have never thought there was a choice.
Life is change, always. Most of the time is is very slow and imperceptable, you don't notice the wrinkle form, you notice its there.
Any sense of an "easy" life is to me but a calm pool and a temporary effect.
Wait . . .waves will come
Exactly.
I like a positive challenge, something i enjoy doing, opposed to something i dislike
Challenge me. Growth does not come from an easy life.
I like certain kinds of challenges, but I also appreciate when certain things are easy. I'm a bit of a 'mixed bag'. If everything is easy, I'll may become bored; if everything is a challenge, I may become too frustrated. As long as there's a balance, I'm fine with things (generally speaking)
