The thought that ADD can be a gift is a radical thought for those who struggle daily to live up to their potential. Sometimes thinking differently can be a blessing in disguise. People with ADD are more likely to rely on their intuition, to be creative, to think ‘outside the box’, to be more persistent in achieving their goals, and to bring a light-heartedness and joy to everyday situations.
So much about ADD is viewed in a negative light, even by those who actually have it. It is time to focus on the good side of the ADD traits. Just because you are different does not make you deficit in anything. Once the gift of ADD is recognized and supported in a positive way the payoff can be an amazing life that wouldn’t be possible without it.
Don’t let other people and their idea of what is ‘normal’ cause you to have a life that is less than extraordinary. ADD is a gift that is waiting to be found.
