Abstract: This essay contains ideas that can change the world. Bringing into focus the essential oneness of things, it explores how energy motivates all forms and instils meaning and purpose. Parents and teachers who are troubled by present-day trends and who are searching for answers to the plight of boredom and the stigma of ineptness will find valuable ideas here to assist them in helping young people to discover the essential nature of life, how they fit into its structure, and how their lives matter. "Challenge" is Part 1 of a longer work, The Quest, which can be purchased at georgeronald.com.
