Challenges appear whenever there is a change in our life. Many people resist change because they do not want to break away from the moribund routine they have become used to and try out something different. Often, these changes turn out to be for the better and eventually we become used to the new routine as well. Changes must, therefore, be welcomed in life and along with that the challenges that it puts forward. There are several challenges one needs to face in life, but there are some challenges which are huge and make one wonder how to take a decision. Listed here are the 5 biggest challenges you will face (or have already faced) in life:

1. Moving Away From Home

Arguably, the first major challenge in life comes when you decide to study away from home, that is, in a different city or country. Moving away from home is a huge change in your life and poses several challenges. You have to contemplate your sense of responsibility; you will have to learn to take care of yourself on your own as your parents/guardians will no longer be there to support you; you will have to learn to provide for yourself; and most importantly, you will have to exercise with utmost care and keep yourself from ending up in any unwanted trouble whatsoever.

2. Getting Your First Job

Getting your first job is another great challenge which you will have to face (or already have faced) in life. This is the first time you are going to become financially independent—you will begin to earn on your own and will no more have to ask for money from your parents for every little thing you want. Along with that, you will now no longer remain a college kid and move into the work culture. This is a huge transition in life and poses great challenges as it involves anxiety related to several aspects of your work like whether you will like your work or not, how the people at work are going to be and so on.

3. Proposing To the Person You Love

You will require profound courage and confidence to do this, but if you really love a person you will eventually bring yourself to tell the person that you love him/her. Another big challenge in life, is to propose for the first time in life to the person you love, often keeps people in apprehension for many days before and after the actual task. First, you need the guts to say it, and then, you may have to wait for a reply!

4. Coping With the Death of a Loved One

A huge challenge in life is when one has to cope with the death of a loved one. Whoever it is, if you really love the person who just died, it will keep you thinking for many days. Death of a dear one is often known to change a person inside out, which happens due to a sudden vacuum one feels within oneself. This is a huge challenge in life and every individual has to face it; death of someone close teaches us the value of life.

5. Overcoming Your Fears

Eventually you will come to realize that the fears that you had in life are in fact, mere phobias which you can overcome easily. People have several kinds of irrational fears— stage fright, fear of heights, fear of dogs, fear of travel and so on. When you realize that you have all along been scared of something which is not scary at all and that it was all in your mind, you will live life to its fullest. So, overcoming your fears is also a huge challenge you will face in life.
