Take Ownership.....

Challenges or trials are usually weaknesses in our character brought to light so we can work on or refine them. The trials test our true quality. Do you react the same time and time again? If so, chances are you will face the same challenge again. It is the uncomfortable situations that show what we are really made of. These situations are also what grows us the most. Many times we stay stuck at the same level, rarely making any progress. This is because we are not dealing with the challenges daily, taking any ownership. Do you immediately find ways to make a challenge someone else's problem? When you tell them it's their problem how to they react or respond? If they don't, chances are they have already passed that level. They have moved on..... they are now trying to help you move up to the next level.  However, your reaction shows your quality and character and until it is refined or changed you may remain at that level or go around the mountain yet one more time.
