We all have days when we feel bad about ourselves for one reason or another. Guess you noticed I had one yesterday. 
But there are a lot of reasons to feel good about who we are – ADD and all. ADD is OK.
Here’s why:
-
You are in very good company. A good portion of Hollywood, the NHL, and the people you read about in history books have/had Attention Deficit Disorder.
-
You are a dreamer. Dreaming is OK; it’s good. Without dreamers, we wouldn’t have airplanes, rocket ships, or cell phones. If you’re a dreamer and a do-er, that’s great. If not, find yourself a do-er and go to town!
-
You have a brilliant and creative mind that sees connections where others do not. That can lead to new discoveries, and that’s a good thing.
-
You have a playful and childlike side that still sees the wonder in the ordinary and the fantastic in the everyday. Keep it up.
-
You’ve got energy and ideas in abundance. Keep the flow going. It’s OK to abandon one project in search of a newer, more exciting one at times. Who knows what you’ll come up with?
Having ADD is OK. It’s who you are, and it’s who I am too. Nobody made a mistake when they made us.
“Figure out who you are, and then do it on purpose.” Dolly Parton
