what challenges have you overcome?

Funny you mentioned tennis. I played all afternoon and just got home. I've been struggling with golf since I started playing in college at age 19, and I hope that hole in one counts! I think my greatest challenge was taking a crash course in French at our local university before our first trip to Paris. I was so afraid that we'd have language barriers and couldn't make our needs known. As it turned out, many spoke English, but many did not, so it came in very handy.

My worst enemy "was" me, I had to learn to trust myself when making a living as a landlady, the fact that I could make the repairs, to stand up to the bullies that I sometimes got, unknowingly, and I could run this business alone. Then it was this land, I had to tame this land, with every man that came by said "was impossible" I did it all alone, just me and a mower. Now I am in a new place, I am overcoming those nasty little voices that say " are you sure?" I think we will always have challenges to overcome, till the day we die. Not allowing those challenges to stop us from moving on it the prize.

I was able to skate about five km, even though, I had never used skates before. More than five falls to the grond and afew scratches on ,my arms were the marks made of that experience

Escaping the cult, graduating at 28, getting poems and stories and my pending book published

I have lots of fears and issues, I think that I've always lived a pretty comfortable life as I cannot list a single accomplishment. Sorry.

i didnt overcome any challenge till now

The biggest challenge I ever faced would definitely be getting sober and staying sober for 2 1/2 years now. I used to drink all day every day, and I did that because I didn't have to want to think about things or feel things (I didn't have the greatest childhood) and so I drank the pain away. It was a serious challenge to stop that and feel the pain, but it gave me the ability to finally build a truly wonderful life

Learning to play gold when I was already in my late 40's.

It's wonderful that you learned something that you have loved so much.

That's great you overcame the challenge of learning tennis at an older age. My challenge was going to college in my forties and graduating with a good grade point average in a difficult course - Architecture. I overcame and accomplished math I never would have attempted as it was the hardest subject for me all through school, yet I overcame math and achieved a B in tech math and an A in Physics.

I stopped playing Tennis after crossing fifty! I feel fulfilled that I worked for over forty-five years to earn a retired life now - siva

We have something in common although I learned tennis at a much earlier age 27. Through a lot of effort, study and practice I became good enough to coach in college and also instruct kids and adults at camps and park programs.

Afraid to swim.

I couldn't forget about my girlfriend and let go all of our common memories. My whole life was in shock but eventually I could over come.
