ADHD Quotes

"Insist on yourself; never imitate. With your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous, half possession." 
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

You live in a world of uniformity, conformity and standard mandated ways of learning and doing things. When you try to be someone that is your natural self, by following rules and regulations that tell you how we should act, you become frustrated and demotivated. You are under constant pressure to perform predetermined standards which do not play to your strengths while trying to be somebody else you are supposed to be. 

You were born with a unique brain wiring like no other in the world. You are possessed with an inner greatness which can only manifest based on the different strengths you possess. When you have barriers that are placed in your path, which you are required to imitate, you are acting out someone else's idea of who you should be and how you should do things. You remain stagnant and your own personal growth becomes difficult, if not impossible. -David Giwerc
