Every day you impact the world around you. Is it positive or negative? Are you optimistic about your life and future?
You are hardwired to grow and to help others. It is a part of what it means to be human. It causes people to volunteer or dedicate their lives to something greater than themselves.
Every time you change just one person’s world, you’re starting a butterfly effect with the potential to improve lives for generations to come. But meaningful or effective change isn’t always instant nor is it large-scale. Real impact can take months or years, and making the world a better place often means bettering it for a few people at a time.
- Try giving back to your community.
- Stand up for causes that you care about.
- Do random acts of kindness for loved ones or people you meet throughout the day. Even little things like calling a friend or buying a stranger’s lunch can turn their day around
- Find like-minded people who are committed to the same cause as you.
- Take care of yourself, or you won’t have the energy to help others.
- Lead by example.
Your ADHD brain has given you some extraordinary skills. It is your responsibility to learn how to capitalise on them and make this world a better place for yourself, this generation and those that follow.
Your prehistoric ancestors used their ADHD brains and were the hunters who cared for the tribe. They used their impulsivity, unrelenting curiosity and hyperactivity to remain calm in a crisis. It is the reason why the rest of the world exists today. The world needs your help. Start small; think big.
