© Bryan L. Hutchinson Positive Thinking part4 post1:         Potential part 2 If you have visited Seth’s Blog then I am sure you can see why I think he has an Adder trait or two. Usually, only an Adder can create stuff so interesting that it becomes mesmerizing to another Adder. Consider Da Vinci. Did you notice Seth’s book with the naked plastic dolls on the cover? Exactly… go back and find it… I will wait. I am not saying that Seth is an Adder. Let’s get that clear. I am saying that what he creates is very interesting to the point that it is captivating, even to Adders. That is a major reason he is so successful. Adders are extremely creative. That is no secret. And concerning our creative nature, I am not telling you anything you haven’t heard before, or what you don’t already know. Since we agree that […]

Why? What for? What’s the use?

Why? What for? What’s the use?

As much as I have improved, as far as I have come—I am not yet flawless and a dose of reality reminds me that neither I, nor anyone else, ever will be. These feelings pass.  Nah, I never actually thought I was flawless—far from it. I know I have flaws, difficulties, struggles and, yes, sadness. Who doesn’t? It is not perpetual; these are just moments, moments which can be amazing forces of devastation if we let them and without proper care these moments can indeed become long-lasting.

The Power of Positive Thinking and Redirection! Part 3

Once you know the whys, then too, you will know the hows and knowing the hows will give you the willpower for thinking positive. A mind which has been set and programmed to think negative must understand why it thinks that way. There is cause and there is effect. Knowing the cause of why you think negative will give you the opportunity to understand and overcome. The mind has an amazing ability to reason and rationalize. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to be aware of a thought process’s origin. I think this important step of understanding origins is a missed step in many programs for positive thinking.

The Power of Positive Thinking and Redirection! Part 2

Mother, mother tell your children That their time has just begun Bon Jovi- “Keep the faith” — Therapy is a good step… Indeed finding a good therapist is a crucial step in the direction of healing and overcoming any negative long lasting feelings. A therapist will ask questions and you will answer those questions and sometimes you will be surprised by your own answers–I was! The mind has a way of bottling up and holding on to things which no longer can be changed, and, or, may have nothing to do with your life anymore. Finding out what those things are and fleshing them out allows you to take control of them and tag them as relevant or no longer relevant. Obviously, it is not possible to change the past.

The Power of Positive Thinking and Redirection! Part 1

The power of positive thinking and redirection can overcome the weariest of hearts and the most depressed of souls. Hurt, pain, sorrow and guilt can all be overcome. Blame, finger pointing, complaining and remorse are aspects of a mind in pain and although these actions and emotions have their place in the world that does not mean that they are helpful or productive. On the contrary, these actions and emotions cause harm and enhance hurt and pain. — You been robbed You been used You been crucified and You been abused You been sacrificen and Now you’re confused Ain’t it the truth  …. Bon Jovi-“little bit of soul.” — Nobody here on earth knows what you are going through better than you do.

Ty Pennington and ADHD, he sets a good example

Ty Pennington and ADHD, he sets a good example

“A Jack of all trades and a Master of none!”  This is how Ty Pennington has often described himself, and truth be told, it is also how many of us Adders depict ourselves. I have described myself that way, and actually, I still do. The reality is that Ty and the majority of Adders are indeed Masters of a trade, an Adder trade, we are Masters of innovation. Ty is a true master and one I admire. When it comes to ADHD he is ahead of his time, and really, it’s about time someone like Ty came along and help educate society concerning the reality of ADHD and ADD. He takes it upon himself to spread understanding and help bring healing to Adders from around the world and he does not limit himself to only those with ADD or ADHD. He helps many in need. If you have watched his […]
