Challenge

Be willing to suffer and sacrifice

Self Challenge

Do not seek pleasure or security first. Be willing to suffer, even to give up everything, in the service of something greater than yourself. Give until it hurts.

"If you want to help, share something of yourself – not from your abundance – but until it hurts. Give what costs you—make a sacrifice—do without something you like, so you may share what you have saved thus with those who do not even have what they need. Then your giving will be true giving--loving until it hurts.” Mother Teresa
