In a follow up interview with Bob Costas, Michael Phelps and his mother revealed that he has ADD. They described how he discovered his passion and talent for swimming at an early age. He and his mother were able to direct his extraordinary ADD energies and concentration powers into his swimming career.

Michael and his mother pursued his swimming career to tap into and expand his ADD gift of swimming. He was heard to say that he tried several other sports, but that the thing he really liked about swimming were the lane lines in the pool that gave him great focus on where to be. Other sports seemed too ambiguous or abstract. Their early recognition of his passions and talents for swimming, and their dedication to developing his swimming skills to their fullest has produced one of the most remarkable sports achievements in recent history. He has won 14 gold medals in two Olympics and I believe broken world records in all but one final event, and stands as the most decorated Olympic swimmer and athlete of all time. He has reached heights never before achieved by any other human. Michael Phelps extended the known boundaries of mankind, because he and his mother fully developed his ADD blessings.

NBC correctly acknowledged the partnership between Michael and his mother for how they were smart enough to recognize his ADD blessings at such an early age and the concentrated effort and sacrifices they both made to develop and expand his gifts for all the world to enjoy.

People with ADD have been given at least one special blessing, and most often more than one. They have the capability to operate in a world outside the normal world of others. But they must discover what their blessings are. When they recognize their special ADD gifts and they coincide with their passions they have the potential for world-class greatness. But this potential must be recognized, accepted, nurtured and developed. Just like Michael Phelps and his mother did.

If you are lucky enough to have ADD, you to have been blessed with the talents and passions to achieve some incredible feats. You too can extend the boundaries of mankind like Michael Phelps. However, you must also recognize, understand, accept, and develop your GOD given ADD special Gifts. The sooner you do this the more time and energy you can devote to improving the skills and knowledge of your special ADD blessed talents.

If you have children who are lucky enough to have ADD, please take the time and expend the effort to work with them to discover their ADD blessed talents and passions, early in their childhood, so you too can assist them to become the Michael Phelps of their chosen fields. Rest assured, all people, including children with ADD are blessed. They all have been given some unbelievable world class talents and gifts that give them the potential to reach incredible levels, that are outside the capacity of normal people. Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Mozart, Galileo, Leonardo da Vinci, Winston Churchill, Robin Williams, Magic Johnson, Terry Bradshaw, Muhammad Ali, Carl Lewis, and Michael Phelps all accomplished remarkable feats because they had ADD and they developed and used their ADD blessings. If your child has ADD, he or she could join this illustrious group, just by recognizing and developing what the love to do most. And as a parent you too will be able to beam with pride like Michael Phelps mother did, as your ADD blessed child also extends the boundaries of mankind.

Having ADD IS a Blessing!

Just look at how Michael Phelps and others converted their ADD into the blessings they really are. I can give you the names of many other people you know who have also achieved incredible feats because they too have ADD. Hopefully the partnership between Michael Phelps and his mother where they converted his ADD into the blessings it really is will be a shining example to thousands of other parents and children, who will perform the same conversion with their children. If you or your children are treating ADD as a negative disorder, then you are denying your children the ability to become the Michael Phelps of their own passions and talents, and you are denying the world of the pleasure and value of having your children take mankind to new levels not previously seen before. Drugging down your ADD children hurts everyone concerned. Allowing and encouraging your ADD children to discover and pursue their ADD blessings will permit them to achieve wonderful things that will attract more rewards than you can imagine.
