Please enjoy this poem by one of my favorite poets, Rumi. He lived in the 13th century, yet his wisdom still rings true; particularly for adults with ADD / ADHD.

You were born with potential,
You were born with goodness and trust,
You were born with ideals and dreams,
You were born with greatness,
You were born with wings,
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings,
Learn to use them and fly.

You are more than your ADD. Celebrate its gifts and embrace and manage its challenges. And remember always, you have the right to be successful.

May your world be filled with peace, prosperity and abundant good health.
