EACH TIME I FACE WITH CHALLENGES, I REALIZE, I AM GROWING AND NEED TO;

Day-to-day life challenges and experiences can help us grow spiritually, emotionally, and economically in several ways:

Spiritual Growth:

1."The soul grows by its own internal struggles, by its own efforts to overcome the inertia of the material mind." (Urantia Book, Paper 111, Section 2)
2."The spiritual life is not a matter of intellectual assent or emotional feeling, but rather a matter of actual experience and living." (Urantia Book, Paper 117, Section 6)

Emotional Growth:

1."The emotions are the driving force behind the soul's growth, and they must be trained and directed in order to achieve spiritual progress." (Urantia Book, Paper 116, Section 4)
2."The highest happiness is not found in the mere gratification of the emotions, but rather in the spiritual experience of knowing God and serving him." (Urantia Book, Paper 117, Section 5)

Economic Growth:

1."The economic life is a part of the total life, and it must be lived in harmony with the spiritual and emotional life." (Urantia Book, Paper 132, Section 5)
2. "The true measure of wealth is not the accumulation of material goods, but rather the richness of one's spiritual experience and the depth of one's emotional life." (Urantia Book, Paper 133, Section 3)

Day-to-day life challenges can help us grow by:

* Forcing us to confront our weaknesses and limitations (Urantia Book, Paper 118, Section 8)
* Providing opportunities for service and selflessness (Urantia Book, Paper 129, Section 1)
*Encouraging us to develop a deeper trust in God and his guidance (Urantia Book, Paper 130, Section 4)
* Helping us to cultivate a sense of gratitude and appreciation for life's experiences (Urantia Book, Paper 132, Section 2)
