yes of course you can rise about them! That's what they are there for. :) Everyone's personality is organized into certain traits. We can't be all things all the time, it would be too chaotic. So we simplify how we are formed just a tad, and the challenges show us how it worked out - what our "bag" is.
Challenges are there to help us evolve. We don't get very far when everything's easy and perfect! :)
