I have ADD and love having it. I am a card carrying member of the ADD Club, and proud of it. I have thrived and enjoyed life in ways others can only dream about, because I have ADD. Two of my four children (ages 18 and 30) also have ADD and their ADD has given them the ability to prosper and overcome obstacles that would frustrate others. Robin Williams, Albert Einstein, Tom Cruise, Henry Winkler, John Lennon, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Mohammed Ali, Bruce Jenner, Robert Kennedy, Magic Johnson, Carl Lewis, Galileo, Mozart, and Werner von Braun all thrived because they have or had ADD.    more »

Let me know what you think. Thanks! Steve    more »

You will attain life balance when you enjoy and thrive in all three of your lives simultaneously without guilt or conflict. Life balance is very personal and different for everyone. Many people strive to attain life balance. Yet few people know what life balance really would look like to them, nor how to attain it. Our three lives determine our life balance. Work Life. Our work related life consists of what we do to earn an income to provide resources to live and prosper. Yet we gain much more from work. We gain financial and social status. We gain feelings of accomplishment, belonging, power, acceptance, praise and fame, enjoyment, and even feelings of contributing to the good and welfare of our fellow man. The emotional gains from our work often provide far more benefit than the money we earn.    more »
