It's Never too Late to be What You Might Have Been

If there is anything that adults with ADHD struggle with, talk about, lie (lay?) in bed and reflect upon with perhaps many a tear streaming down cheeks, it's the feeling that all your potential is locked up in some overly secure fortress and there is no existent key out there to set it free.  If you look up into its barred windows, you'll see this beautiful potential in darkened rooms waving arms out into the sunshine imploring, "I am here!  Please set me free." 

As for myself, I have spent many years in that place with little ability to access what I sensed deep within was my potential.

Things have been changing for the better for me. Slowly but surely.   

I am in a good mental space, the best of my life actually.  Years of private and group therapy, finding the right antidepressant with the correct dosage (generic Effexor XR - venlafaxine 150mg/day) and a myriad other efforts here and there, such as doing yoga, and eating healthily have been having profoundly good effects on my life.   

It is in this spirit that I've chosen to sign up for the Working with ADHD VIP Club.  This company is specifically created for ADHD entrepreneurs (Hey that's me!!).  Two years ago I created a music festival specifically to challenge many of my ADHD issues. Not only did it allow me to face many of my profound organizational insecurities, it unlocked so much of that fantastic potential that has been sitting there for years aching to be released. 

The short list of the my now-being-realized potential:

• Natural diplomat
• Very good public speaker
• Can get anyone excited about any idea
• Good writer 

So why the VIP club now?  Because I need what these two women have to offer. Now is the time to take some of my potential and create work that earns me my living.  

Creating a community music festival where little money was involved was the perfect way to challenge my ADHD.  Now is the time to take these hard won skills of mine and create my living.
