An overview of Lobow's SPARK strategy - The Power of ADHD. Emphasis on the first element of SPEED. ADHD people are told to slow down, calm down, rest and relax……f*ck that. Why should we slow down when the world operates fast and we are quicker than 90% of it? You always want to be first in anything you are trying to achieve whether it be your career, a competition, coming up with as some great idea, or simply asking out that hottie at the bar.
Quick decision making is as easy as breathing for the adhd brain. Actually, we make our best and most accurate decisions when an immediate answer is required. We have a sense of urgency with everything that is important every day. That can be frustrating for others but those others will come to us when it is the most vital and they need our help fast. This is why some of the most successful people with adhd have chosen to use the power of speed to be superman. They have chosen careers like emts, the military, firefighters, special forces ect…These are all careers that are labeled as “heroic.” In other businesses, the quick outside the box thinkers are recognized more often. The natural power of the speed in the adhd brain is respected and looked up to in everything but people with adhd. WHY?! Stay fast ADHDers.
