You Are Good Enough!

You Are Good Enough!
on: March 14, 2012 by: Bryan Hutchinson 2 Comments , , , , ...

You are. A little louder. A little clearer. Good enough. A step further. The truth of truths. You are more than good enough. Indeed. Yes. You are. Believe me. I know. I’ve been there. I’ve been in the doubt. I’ve felt the fear. Yes. That fear. I know what it is like to make a mistake. And then. Yes. And then. To make that mistake again. But even in the darkness, even in the despair, I have found something. Something important, something vital, something that is of a value that can never be taken away. I found The Voice. Strong. Vibrant. Confident. Where are you? You. My friend. Where are you? Yes. YOU. The only place you are. The place you have not yet looked. Yes. That place. That place inside of you. That place that beckons. That place that constantly whispers. You need only Listen. Listen closely. Can you hear it? It […]

Lessons from Steve Jobs! Today is a Great Day even with ADHD!

“Today is a day the Lord has made and I shall rejoice and be glad in it!” ~Me, today. I admit, I’ve never been an overly religious person, but the above statement always changes my perspective of the day that is ahead of me and I say it every morning when I wake up. Earlier this year I underwent surgery for something the doctors were not sure of. First, they were going to insert a camera into my body just above my naval and explore my insides to see if they could find the source of my pain and if they did, perhaps remove whatever it turned out to be. I had been suffering from severe pain in my abdomen for several months and didn’t know why. I was scared, to put it gently. They had already done every examination you can imagine, but could not find the source. As it turned out […]

How GOOD THINGS can come from BAD THINGS – How to Get Turned Up from being Turned down!

How GOOD THINGS can come from BAD THINGS – How to Get Turned Up from being Turned down!
on: July 16, 2011 by: Bryan Hutchinson 7 Comments , , , , ...

Many of you know that I started writing One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir as a therapeutic endeavor, as I had no intention of publishing it. Today it is a well known, widely read book and it has gone on to make me one of the top 3 authors for Infinity Publishing this last June, 2011. However, I would not have published One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir, much less started my blog or created the ADHD social network ADDer World, if I had not been turned down for a certain job. Long ago there was a job that I wanted so very much that I worked day and night to prove myself. I gave everything I had to show what I could do and finally the opportunity arrived, but I did not get it. All that I had worked to prove suddenly seemed worthless and I felt like I had not […]

Don’t let the Science of ADHD fool you!

Don’t let the Science of ADHD fool you!

Thanks to the science of ADHD we have medication which is helping people cope day to day, and for some fortunate people medication has completely changed the way they live their lives for the better. Without science ADHD would not be classified as a disorder and we would still be stuck in the dark ages of ADHD, meaning ADDers are considered dumb, stupid, lazy, and unmotivated etc…  Without the science of ADHD some may still be spanking and punishing children in ways that are unhelpful and destructive. Science has pointed out that such corporal punishment can be detrimental to a child’s intellectual and emotional development. I may never be able to put into words how thankful I am for this type of research. We now know that the symptoms of ADHD can be quantified, thanks to scientific research and accordingly diagnosed by qualified professionals. I am extremely thankful to the science of ADHD! However, […]

What Do Kids Dream About and Why?

What Do Kids Dream About and Why?
on: June 22, 2009 by: Bryan Hutchinson 5 Comments , , , , ...

I am standing at the edge of a cliff; my toes are curling the edge, as I prepare to jump.  Before me is an open sky, beautiful and clear and, as I look down, I cannot see the bottom, just more glorious sky – this place seems it could be the edge of the world, maybe it is. I am calm, open, even smiling quite delightfully. I feel liberated. I should be terrified, I should be trembling and yet, I am not fearful, not at all. I step off, with my arms open wide as if I can fly and in an instant I can feel the air rushing against me, pressing against me, yet gently, almost hugging me, like a lover’s sweet embrace. I am flying. I really am flying! I am not heading downwards, no, not towards the unseen ground, which must be down there, far, far, below. […]
