I tend to have this perverse reaction to authority and stress: I become more confident and clear when a challenge is enormous.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I try to challenge myself as much as possible, as often as possible.
The biggest challenge for me is just knowing how to calm down.
I try to take things that challenge me either physically or mentally, or I have to learn a new skill.
My biggest challenge is trust, and really believing that trust, in letting things just happen personally and professionally and trust with myself. But I'm getting better at it.
I'm more focused and have a greater sense of challenge, because I constantly feel the weight of time.
So many people grew up with challenges, as I did. There weren't always happy things happening to me or around me. But when you look at the core of goodness within yourself - at the optimism and hope - you realize it comes from the environment you grew up in.
I figure there's no point in stressing about what's out of my control, and all I can do is make the best of what I've got.
I try to keep myself on an even keel by trying to be as critical of myself as I am of other people. I try to separate my performance from myself.
I think in life, if you continue to challenge yourself, you can pride yourself in what you continuously accomplish.
When I'm challenged, I grow. I never want to be in a situation where I'm not challenged and not afraid. One of my favorite feelings is stepping into a film and knowing that I'm a little bit afraid of what I have to accomplish.
