How do you structure your day? Do you start every morning off by doing the things you have to do but don’t necessarily enjoy and put off the more enjoyable parts of your day until later?

The Courage to Be Yourself (1137)

ADHD Education

“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 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.
