  1. I have been in a relationship before and it was not that great, so yes, I think I have for the most part transened that value.
  2. I would also like to mention that ADHD atentitive(ADD) and ADHD are gifts. But they have side effects many creative geniuses have had this so called disorder like Albert Einstein and Abraham Lincoln. There are many more too like great modern entrprenuers and very famous authors that have these disorders! Paradoxically it is a gift and a curse.
  3. There are a number of great musicians that have ADHD too, plus it makes you who you are.
  4. I don't think you want to get rid of the hyperactive disorder, think about it, there are a number of actors that have ADHD. The hyper part can be used to create art.
  5. No kiding, I hope your right, because if you are I could produce some amazing work much quicker, to help others and I will be able to live a life like everyone eles for the first time. It would be absolutely revolutionary.
  6. Well, I have it as bad as one could possibly have it, though I am very inteligent, it makes life so difficult. I have taken multiple drugs and have meditated for about 7 months and I have seen no difference. After doing a ton of the exersizes you recommend I have seen my life quality sky rocket, but I still can't pay attention to save my life. If you actually found a cure I would be impressed because I have tried almost everything. I have even lost hope.
  7. Have you had it before?
  8. Do you think ADD can be cured through meditation eventually, or do I need to turn to drugs like Ritalin or Adderall?
  9. I am not sure what type of women I like. How will I know my type? I meet a lot of people every day, but the women that I meet I am attracted to in some sort of way. I think that I like the very intelligent women, that were not well admired in high school, but honestly, I also have taste for the women that are very girly and emotional. I don't know what establishes a connection?
  10. It takes me twice as long to do everything, I even have to have at least double time on tests. Yes, I have tried medication but I am still struggling to find anything that truly improves my ability to focus.
  11. I have trouble in school, it takes me long to do tests, assignments, etc. I have trouble focusing. Its always been that way. So, the fear is from my adversity.
  12. My plan is also to be a peer mentor next semester working at the university, so yes I do have a purpose and a plan. But I still have fear. I also have an idea of what jobs I want to do next summer that relates to being a therapist. I still have fear.
  13. I don't expect handouts, but I have trouble with school. So, I have not been working during school. I just focus on grades. So far this semester I have received a 3.8 GPA taking 13 credits. But my work experience is limited. My classes are easy compared to most peoples. I am going to be a peer mentor next semester while working. On the side I am writing a book about my life and the adversity I am overcoming due to your incredibly work. I have a life purpose. Is it in any way normal to only be able to take 13 credits. This means it will take me like five years or more to get a Bachelor's degree. I fear debt, I am already 10 grand in debt after a year and half of school. I plan on moving to another university at which my debt will probably stay at about 15 grand for another two years. Is this good standing or is it dangerously threading debt?
  14. I am uncertain as to when to stand up for myself and when my ego is getting the best of me by protecting my insecurities. I don't know where the line is between being assertive and not letting people walk over me and letting my ego take off?
  15. I also have a practical question. I have just become conscious as to how much I am stepped on by my friends. My gut says to tell them that I do not apricate how they talk down at me so often. But I am afraid to loose some of my friends.
  16. Well, okay. I have another question about relationships with girls. Leo says I need to fix my gap in my triangle. Which for me is sex and fiends. I am currently in college and I have been working on the sex part a lot. But I fail miserably every time, is it even worth trying while in college? I am limited in time. But at the same time it is part of self actualizing.
  17. My friends are usually good, they support me in almost everything. I just am not sure if I should tell one of my friends why my goal is practical or just let him laugh at me?
  18. I am not sure how to balance my life, I am currently in sophomore year of college taking 16 credits and I need to grow myself by expanding my network, but I also want to keep up with self actualization work and my grades. Something has to give. Leo what would you do if you knew all the information you know now in college 10 years ago, how would you balance your life?
  19. I am basically doing the same thing you did in college, but I have a high understanding of the material you give out, how do you reconcile balancing life?
  20. Our special power is radical open mindedness which gives us an extraordinary ability to innovate and we have the ability to hyper focus when we have a deep passion for something, it is absolutely beautiful and by hyper focusing we understand our interest to highest levels. Don't disregard this power, I have proven it in my life, it's extraordinary. This can also be proven from this video Also, it is proven in this video I have won over 20 thousand dollars in scholarships for my first year of college due to it and have been able to play golf at a professional level due to it. Who knows what will happen next with this hyper focus. However, the down side is your brain shuts on and off when it feels like it on subjects that are tedious, but non the less, achievement is very possible.
  21. I am 19 and am very interested in life coaching, I am in college right now working toward my degree in Psychology. I thought it would be very wise to wait to do the coach training program after I get my bachelors degree or even my PhD. Sound wise?
  22. I:I seriously resonate with you. I have ADD bad too, I recommend you go back to school and get the help you need to learn the best. It may cost a lot of money and be scary as hell, but I assure you it is possible to get good grades in college. In high school, I got a grade point average of 3.75 GPA and my first year of college I received at 3.5 GPA, but I received the help and accommodations I needed. I learned a lot because of how radically persistent I was. Fuck what society says about how we are "disabled". We are just wired differently and that is an advantage in some profound ways, in fact we have some crazy advantages that I have just recently discovered. Serously, you can do it!!!! I am not fucking with you.
  23. I am not sure how to form new ideas, I have tried what Leo suggested. Just sitting down for an hour a day brainstorming but I feel I don't have enough innovative ideas to start forming a business. I am currently a sophomore in college that has just switch my major to Psychology and was previously a Marketing major. My career is a ways ahead, but shouldn't I have a good idea of where I am going with my career to grantee employment? I have fear going into the field of Psychology because of how much competition there is and how low the wages can be, but I genuinely love this filed and feel I found my life purpose; "to give people the tools, wisdom, and knowledge to live extraordinary lives". I am currently in process of developing myself to highest levels possible and I want to share my wisdom, but I lack experience and I have not mastered a lot of concepts Leo talks about on actualized.org. I have thought about creating a youtube channel, and I have started writing a novel, but I don't know if this guarantees anything? What can I do now to guarantee myself a suffient monthly income doing what I love?
  24. As Leo stated in his videos, he said that there is a spectrum of psychological development( a level one is at on the sprial) for a bunch of nauances in our lives. How can you tell what level you are at in intamate relationships?
  25. That last post did not make any sense. How can I figure out all the parts of my life that are underdeveloped? I want to be in the yellow stage in all aspects of my life.
