The Mindset Mentor
Adult ADHD: Harnessing the Supercharged Brain

is because so many people hold themselves back because of ADD or ADHD, whichever one you think you might have. And they blame it as if that's the reason why they're not successful, as if that's the reason, oh, well, I have ADD, so there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just going to be unsuccessful my entire life. oh, I'm not where I want to be in life. So it's because I have ADD, I can't do it.

Oh, I can't focus. It's because I have ADD. And they use it as like this external thing that they can blame as to why they don't have the life that they want. But I really believe, I've done a lot of research on ADD and ADHD recently. And I think that the way that ADD is talked about is completely false. When you look at it, ADD, attention deficit disorder. Deficit disorder.

I want you to understand, it is not a disorder. It's a trait. So what I mean by that is like disorder means that the connotation with disorder is probably like something's wrong with me, right? But there's nothing wrong with you. It's just a trait. Like some people are calm. Some people have tons of energy. Some people have curly hair. Some people have no hair. Some people have brown hair.

Some people have blonde hair. Some people have red hair. Some people are outgoing. Some people are shy. Some people are tall and some people are short. But none of those are disorders. They're just traits. Like I'm, for instance, I'm 6'2". The world is way different for me than someone who's 5'1". But the world's also way different for me than it is for someone who's 7'4".

Not one of them is good and one of them is bad. None of them are good. None of them are bad. They just are. So what we need to do is we need to go, okay, this is how I am. And I just work with the cards I've been dealt versus going, oh, well, I have brown hair, so that's the reason why I'm not successful in this world. I'll never be successful because I have blonde hair. No.

It's like, okay, you have ADD or ADHD. Cool. Let's work with it. Not blame it for why we're not where we want to be. Because you can work with it and use it for what it's used for. Because when you learn how to work with it, you'll actually be able to find out that it's a superpower. So what I want you to do is if you think that you have ADD or ADHD, I want you to stop thinking of it as a deficit.

Stop thinking about it as something that's holding you back. Society makes it seem like something is wrong with you. And I'm here to say, that's not true. Because, you know, they think, oh, there's something wrong with me. And then people think that they can't succeed because of it. So then I did some research. I'm like, are there any successful people with ADHD?
