Vol. 1, Tip #21: The Problem with Good Intentions, Part 1
#59
I don’t know if it’s the special mix of ADHD traits like impulsivity, creativity & the inability to accurately judge time & resources, but ADHDers like going for the gusto. We’re passionate about our interests & if we’re not careful, our passion can consume us & isolate us from those around us. But in general, being passionate is a great thing & if properly channeled can lead to amazing things.
Being passionate about what you do often leads to success without that being your main priority. “Winners forget they’re in a race, they just love to run.” Which movie?
There’s no shame in “I’ll get back to you”
As a kid, did you ever get a note asking “if you wanna go steady”? The folded notebook paper, passed secretively under desks across the room… Upon opening, you’d see the Big Question along with crudely drawn boxes, one saying “yes” and the other declaring a heartbreaking “no”.
May I suggest another option for the ADDers who get this magical correspondence?
