“We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose.”
Bishop Desmond Tutu
We live in a world that is making it ever increasingly difficult to be your authentic self. Educational institutions, corporations, organizations want you to conform to their limiting standards. Their rules
usually do not support your unique ways of thinking and acting.
“To be nobody but myself- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else-means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never
stop fighting…”
E.E. Cummings
I love this quote, and although I don’t want to think of it as a fight, there have been many days where I personally felt I was involved in an overwhelming battle of my own mind. It was a
huge conflict with what I wanted to be vs. who I was told I had to be.
I think in today’s world it really takes courage to be different and unique. I think it takes courage to say what you mean and act naturally, using your unique talents and intuition to take
a different path than everyone else.
Our society, and its major institutions, often dictates what you have to do and how you have to do it. They also tell you the level of performance they expect from you even though they
have not taken the time to determine the best ways for you to do it. They have not encouraged you to go out and explore creative, diverse ways of thinking and doing the mandated tasks
and assignments you are being told to complete.
I recently watched a life changing film, “Paper Clips.” It is an extraordinary documentary that focuses on an experiment in Holocaust education. It takes place in a rural town of 1600 people in Whitehill, Tennessee. The students in the town’s middle school are learning about the Holocaust. They are struggling to grasp how six million Jews were killed just for their religious beliefs.
The ADD Coach Academy is very proud of its recent ACTP Accreditation by the ICF
and its distinction as the only comprehensive ADHD Coach Training Program with
this respected designation. However, what really sets us apart from everyone..
Until I began to understand my own ADHD, I was always worried about writing the perfect sentence. I was seeking the perfect punctuation and prose in perfect sequence while also insuring that everything was spelled perfectly.
Your words create worlds. They have the ability to immobilize or catalyze you in any
given moment.
Why do some people climb to a certain point, turn around and descend to the bottom?
Reaching the summit of an important goal is a choice every human being has the opportunity to take. It’s all a matter of how you look at it.
Emotional Intelligence is your ability to identify your emotions as they occur and not let
them sabotage your ability to make good choices that will serve you well. Research
shows that most people don’t have this ability.
