33. What did you struggle with?

Oct 15, 2020

EPISODE 33: By its very nature, creativity is a struggle. We are making new connections, trying new things and it is easy to lose our way. By looking at the things we struggled with most five years ago, we often gain a clearer picture of what was important to us then. We also understand what struggles we were able to overcome and where this knowledge might be of use to others.

Past struggles give us a clear indication of where we first developed our Creative Superpower.

The hero in any journey is always transformed by overcoming struggles and challenges. If these struggles weren’t important to us, we would simply walk away from the problem. The fact that we continued to struggle means that we knew we had something to learn and subsequently, we had something we could then teach.

By identifying what you have struggled with in the past, you can predict the best use of your Creative Superpower in the future.

The types of struggles which shape our Creative Superpower are usually those to do with identity.

In today’s podcast episode, you will discover:

Why you should embrace your past struggles
How to choose between a struggle, and a problem or a challenge
Why your focus should be on teaching what you've learned
How you can make use of your ability to overcome struggles
Strategies for sharing your struggles
How to get the most out of your progress
The importance of forming a new identity as part of the struggle.
