I love a challenge that hits that perfect sweet spot. You know the one: it’s not too easy, not too hard. Like baby bear’s porridge, it’s juuust right. A puzzle that requires lateral thinking is a perfect example. Initially stumped, you spend a few minutes contemplating. And just when you think you might give up, a new thought occurs and you stumble onto the answer. The feeling of satisfaction you feel afterwards is like no other.
I believe that challenges of this nature are a prerequisite to a fulfilling life. Not just puzzles, but challenges in one’s career, physical exercise, and relationships. If everything is too easy, we get bored. If everything is too hard, we get frustrated. So fill your life with challenges that are juuust right.
