Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD for its acronym, is a label of lack and dysfunction by society. ADDers have their strengths and weaknesses in character, personality, and traits, just like everyone else. One such gift, usually not recognized or valued as one, is the gift of storytelling. Storytelling, not in the sense of spinning a yarn, even though they can do that just as well.
Storytelling is the sense of naturally attaching energy to words that grab hold of their listeners and stop time. People cherish listening to them and hold onto every single syllable. It doesn't matter the topic as long as it's something the ADDer understands and believes.
There isn't a survey available that I can quote on this enlightenment. What I do have is 55 years of living with this gift and no conscious awareness of its value until just a few years ago. Alone, I struggled with all its deep crevices, developing new solutions, to find the path on how it intertwines with my life purpose. This new journey gives me an excitement that jumps me out of bed in the morning, euphorically alive with determination to share the gift.
Included in these years, and for the last five, I've attracted others looking for these same answers through my coaching profession. I continue to watch them bloom as I share the keys to how they, too, can use their gift to provide prosperity and abundance to themselves and the world.
Do you relate to this or have a friend or customer that seems to possess this gift? An ADD diagnosis is not required. Give them, or you, the gift of recognition. Take note when it occurs and encourage them, or yourself, to embrace this valuable gift. By sharing this recognition, you help them begin to trust in its value. When they start to trust, practice and refine, it opens their creativity value, and it will naturally begin to explode into the world. The movie director, Steven Spielberg, did and remembered all the joy the world has experienced because he did.
These gifted people typically are natural-born writers, speakers, and teachers. But unfortunately, their sensitivity to the universe's energy often makes them suppress this gift under the guise of perfectionism. They are held under the water for so long that their courage ball can't float to the surface and discover its true freedom. In any case, these endowed people need volumes of encouragement and intense feelings of love and understanding. It automatically transitions into new beliefs, courage, and self-love when met. And, of course, success. They empower the world to be a better place. And all by acknowledgment and use of their gift.
