Michael Phelps, ADHD, and Why YOU Should Get Motivated…
BySo, Michael Phelps -USA Olympian Swimmer- is claiming he’s going to get AT LEAST 8 Gold Medals this Olympics… Well, he’s already got 1 with many more days and races to go.
And you probably didn’t even know he was diagnosed w/ ADHD at the age of 9. By the time he was 11 he was managing his ADHD without medication. How? By keeping a very intense and busy schedule (especially with swimming training) he was able to maintain focus and control his hyperactivity.
I immediately thought of my daily schedule. When I used to get depressed years ago, was it because I wasn’t happy – or was I just BORED? And imagine if I could channel that same focus Michael has into something GREAT…
Think about that for a moment.
If you tally up all of the minutes you spend in one day, are they directed towards one goal? Or are you like most people, just floating from day to day without direction?
I used to play video games and watch movied almost as much as I worked… And I’m sure many people in their mid-twenties would agree that we spend ALOT of time after 5pm in our social circle…
Imagine if only 5% of people Michael’s age showed his diligence and ambition in other areas… Imagine focusing our energy in growing ourselves… And like my friend Mike Li says “I’m Designing My Future One Day at a Time.”
Rebel. Change. Start a Revolution in Your Life. Live moment to moment, but with PURPOSE… What a feeling life can be…
