The True Colors of struggle

Written by: Evan Money

Article Overview: The key here is to embrace the struggle. Why? Because it’s going to come, period. It’s a 100% guarantee that you will struggle at times in your life. It‘s like death, people are so afraid of death yet it’s the one thing you know with total certainty that it will happen. Let’s get back to embracing the struggle. As the #1 Online Life Coach I have some ultra successful high end clients and one of the most popular questions is: “Evan, why is it so hard? “ My answer is why is it so hard for them to understand that the struggle is what brings out the greatness. The struggle in the gym is what makes the champion athlete, the struggle in the cocoon is what properly develops the butterfly’s wings, the struggle in refining Gold and Diamonds is what makes these stones so precious.

The True Colors of struggle

I recently spoke at a Live your dream marriage event on May 9th. It was an amazing day; I think I got the most out of it. The highlight was an art workshop, that's right an art workshop. Let me explain briefly, a common practice with children that are slow learners or are not good communicators is to have them doodle when talking. For some reason the mind is able to unclog or open up when talking and drawing.

In the workshop they used the same principal to help open up communication with couples. The instructor helped us to draw some squiggles and then make a picture out of it, with a story. Allow me to share my story of The True Colors of struggle.

I was able to find a fish in my maze of squiggles and so I colored it in bright shades while it was surrounded by dark brown seaweed, the seaweed of life shall we say. What my fish realized is that its colors shined brighter when it was next to the seaweed. By embracing the seaweed that seems to hold us back from getting promoted, expanding our businesses or basically covering us up, we are able to let our True Colors shine to the world.

The key here is to embrace the struggle. Why? Because it’s going to come, period. It’s a 100% guarantee that you will struggle at times in your life. It‘s like death, people are so afraid of death yet it’s the one thing you know with total certainty that it will happen. Let’s get back to embracing the struggle. As the #1 Online Life Coach I have some ultra successful high end clients and one of the most popular questions is: Evan, why is it so hard? My answer is why is it so hard for them to understand that the struggle is what brings out the greatness. The struggle in the gym is what makes the champion athlete, the struggle in the cocoon is what properly develops the butterfly’s wings, the struggle in refining Gold and Diamonds is what makes these stones so precious.

So if you’re struggling in the corporate world, trying to get promoted and blaming the seaweed for holding you back or if you’re a business owner or CEO blaming the seaweed for such a lousy economy then stop right now. Step up and face the challenge, embrace it and overcome it. If you live in the ocean then seaweed is a part of life.

Re: Web Idea - Hi Som, Welcome aboard. Almost everything that I can add is already mentioned by the ever-active, respected members of the Forum. But I would like to bring it to your attention that whenever we have our idea and nurture it for long, it becomes something like our baby and we are all possessive about that. True. Now the question is that as we are mostly possessive of our idea how far can we go about it? I mean, you say your idea is fresh as morning coffee. True to you but have you researched and actually tried to find out the feasibility part of it? I have also been a programmer and as such I feel that many of the ideas that we have generally look seemingly better in book but when it comes to reality, there is a difference. So I would recommend you to re-consider the idea. Not as Som but as someone who is a client of the idea. Please step into the shoes and find out whether you would go for the product as a client! If yes, then lets start with doing a market research and the follow up with the other formalities. Reason being that its getting late and the Coffee may lose its freshness! Good Luck,
