ADD: One Special Gift

Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD for its
acronym, is a label of lack and dysfunction by society. Just as everyone else,
ADDers have their strengths and weaknesses in character, personality, and
traits. One such gift, usually not recognized or valued as one, is the gift of
storytelling. Storytelling, not in the sense of spinning a yarn, even though
they can do that just as well.
Storytelling in the sense of being able to naturally attach energy to words that
grab hold of their listeners and stop time. People cherish listening to them and
hold onto every single syllable. It doesn't matter what the topic as long as
it’s something the ADDer understands and believes.
There isn't a survey available that I can quote on this enlightenment. What I do
have is 55 years of living with this gift and no conscious awareness of its
value until just a few years ago. Alone, I struggled with all its deep crevices,
developing new solutions, to find the path on how it intertwines with my life
purpose. This new journey gives me an excitement that jumps me out of bed in the
morning euphorically alive with determination to share the gift.
Included in these years, and for the last five, through my coaching profession,
I've attracted others looking for these same answers. I continue to watch them
bloom as I share the keys on how they too can use their gift to provide
prosperity and abundance to themselves and the world.
Do you relate to this or have a friend or customer that seems to possess this
gift? An ADD diagnosis not required. Give them, or you, the gift of recognition.
Take note when it occurs and encourage them, or yourself, to embrace this
valuable gift. By sharing this recognition, you help them begin to trust in its
value. When they begin to trust, practice and refine, it opens their creativity
value and it will naturally begin to explode into the world. The movie director
Steven Spielberg did and remembers all the joy the world has experienced because
he did.
These gifted people normally are natural born writers, speakers, and teachers.
Their sensitivity to the universe’s energy many times make them suppress this
gift under the guise of perfectionism. Held under the water for so long, their
courage ball can't float to the surface and discover its true freedom. In any
case, these endowed people need volumes of encouragement and strong feelings of
love and understanding. When met, it automatically transitions into new beliefs,
courage, and self-love. And, of course, success. They empower the world to be a
better place. And all by acknowledgment and use of their gift.
