Have you ever wanted to be… better than you are?

November 21st, 2009 · 4 Comments · 01 My Thoughts

What would it be like to scale the highest mountain?

What would it be like to catch the rose before the curtains close?

What would it be like to stand on the podium in triumph and listen to the crowd adore your accomplishment, to be applauding you?

Yes, you!

What would it be like?

Can you hear them?

Listen, listen closely.

What would it be like to come home after a successful day, not having made too many mistakes, not having forgotten an appointment, not having been chastised or punished?

What would it be like to sit down, open your books and diligently work on your homework and finish it too?

Listen, listen closely.

Can you hear them now?

Take a moment, relax, and cut the chatter in your mind, focus.

What is ADHD?

September 19th, 2009 · 19 Comments · 01 My Thoughts

When one starts writing an online blog, there should be a box to click that asks us to agree to the fact that once you start a blog there comes with it great responsibility, especially when you are writing about an issue that is quickly becoming one of the most important issues of our time: ADHD! The reality is that most people in society as a whole do not know what ADHD is or how it truly affects people with it. Bloggers are helping clarify our personal realities with ADHD by sharing experiences.

Inferiority, Jealousy, Envy and Wanting – The Burdens of ADHD

April 14th, 2009 · 5 Comments · 01 My Thoughts, 02 My thoughts Positive, ADDer book reviews

It’s not something we want to talk about, it’s not something we want to admit and it is clearly something we are ashamed of. And yet, as much as we already understand our mistakes, our failures and our impulsive mishaps we do it more and more, to the point from which we see no return.

ADHD are symptoms of a magnitude and force which no one, and I mean, no one, who does not have ADHD can truly empathize with, because, no matter how well they understand our symptoms and can explain them with detailed clarity, they do not live with them as part of their self-internal life force. And, as much as each of us relates so well with each other that have ADHD, there are even differences between us that elude our recognition – no matter how familiar we are with each other, and, we are, remarkably, naturally familiar with each other. This is the reason that our personal stories and our personal insights help each other so much.

Michael Phelps’ ADHD Hyper Focus Concentration Helps Win Gold Medal in Beijing!

August 10th, 2008 · 28 Comments · 01 My Thoughts, 02 My thoughts Positive, Positive Sides of ADD

“Single-Minded Focus”

Michael Phelps won the Gold Medal in his first swim in Beijing! There seems to be some confusion and wonder at how and why Michael Phelps was able to overcome so many odds to not break under so much mental pressure. Michael is described in countless articles to have laser like focus on his swimming and single mindedness on being the best. His concentration has even been described as other-worldly. Yes, Michael has the body makeup of a perfect swimming machine, but in competition it is always the mental aspect which allows someone to step above the rest – in Michael’s case, way above the rest – domination.
