If you really want something : You are searching for ways to do / achieve it. If you don't: You're searching for reasons to lie to yourself why you're not able to do it.

An ideology that every one should understand.

So, if your mind is always so fast and over the top, would one call his actual ADHD? Or do you just consume too much stimulant?

I have done martial arts a bit and studied its theory much more. While there is benefit to going to a dojo or doing constructed sessions, I have found that the best martial arts is the one I study and practice at home. This leads into MMA though. After doing constructed sessions I wanted a more productive and meaningful use of my limited energy and found doing it outside of the class better. Of course, you dont have anyone to practice with, which is the biggest downside.

Mmm. I think people throw the term BELIEVE around too much. I also do it. Beleif is something that is said when you are not sure if it is true or not. Sounds like you actually broke some ceilings, not just think you did.

They diagnosed me with ADHD way too late. I can get a prescription for Lisdexamfetamine or Methylphenidate anytime i want to. They also diagnosed my Schizophrenia waaay too late in my life, so if i really wanted to, i possibly could get some real hard drugs for "treatment" of these "illnesses". But i made up my mind enough already to live with this. I only fine-tune here and there when adjustments are required. Drugs are crutches: So maybe even a temporary ailment. But fixing this is on me, because obviously others can't well enough.

My schizophrenia implies i'm never alone, even when there is nobody else in the room. I can play chess with myself rather excellent. Because i learned to distinguish between the voices in my head and those from outside. I can dream very lucidly. When i start to fall in trance (another label: i'd rather call it the balance point between awake and asleep, like a lagrange point between earth and sun, fyi) things happen, that aren't explainable with logic, physics or even mathematics.

Inspiring things. Wonderful things. Beautiful things. And horrendous things.

This is like when falling asleep: "normal" people just take some boring, well-known highway, everybody understands. I can choose to go into a jungle that only exists inside me, nobody else can see. Never. Because it is my jungle.

Others need these labels. I don't. Because i know myself well enough to understand that these "illnesses" actually are gifts.

"Use your illusions". That's an album from "Guns 'n' Roses" . I've learned to take this in a literal sense.

I regard these label they want to pin on your head as another form of labels or crutches. Because there are happening too many things around us, a simple human mind just can't understand but isn't able to admit as a fact. And the harder you try to, the harder this gets. So it is pointless.

So, we've traded a lot of words here. I am not convinced about your status. If this is who you are, I can only believe it from the point of view that your parents made many mistakes that have trickled down into the way and how you were raised. As in, I do not think the you on the internet is a natural phenomenon. EG, something like fetal alcohol syndrome.

If this is the case, have a tiny bit of sympathy. It might not be mine, I found it under the couch. But you can have it.

Otherwise, I look forward to your next best seller in the book store.

Also you've lost me on falling asleep. Been a couple years since I last did that properly.

Yeah. I already know this kind of story. That's my old therapist trying to analyze my mind. Trust me, he wasn't the first being bamboozled when i started talking about whats going on in my head. (And actually i haven't even started... that's the really nice fact.)

I don't need to convince you. Because this leads into discussions trading arguments which are mostly pointless unless you are a fucking bobblehead, sry: politician. I'm a fan of the real old-school dialogue. Face-to-face. Getting to know people. Taking time for this, so you don't drift into prejudices, oversimplified drawers or categories like this. Looking for peoples mindsets and values. And the "organic" cause for my mindset wasn't / isn't fetal alcohol syndrome, it was a shunt siphoning the blood from inside my head into my intestines because otherwise my brain could have been waay more severely damaged by my own blood pressure. Because i had a complex head injury when i was born. Fyi.

That is why i always have a say with my people on who we trust. And if there ever is an equilibrium of votes (which so far didn't occur) on who we take in on what we're building: Guess whose voice counts as a double ... :)

I have some sympathy for every human being. But there are only so many people i trust... I don't need facebook or google to tell me which people my friends are.

Nice chat. Maybe open your mind a little bit.

Well, in the end, you are right. The internet is shit and face to face is better.

Also, open minds are for people who don't know where they are coming from, where they are and where they are going. They are for people who do not know how the world works or where to draw their morals from. My mind is open to creative aspects only. An open mind is like a fortress with its gates wide open and windows unbarred - i think is how it went.

Creativity or its implementation is 99% hard work and only 1% actual creativity itself.

I think you are at a point in your life where i already stood sometime to decide which way to take. When i realized that i actually can help people directly instead of only accumulating FED-approved toilet paper by just doing what i already was doing my whole life, my definition of egoism or egocentrism shifted considerably. People following you down this rabbit hole are only people that are willing to achieve something less standard and more individual with their lives. It is a really nice idiosyncratic coincidence that happened to me way too often to be purely random. And it still does.

Because if you get nearer to the real original self that is inside yourself and start to live it out or in your case rather finally start to let it go out, you will always have the respect of other people. And you even can keep the bridges of your castle open while the walls still are too high to climb for all these simple minds. So i don't consider myself purely open, obviously. There i deviate from your point of view. Because understanding the border between my inner and outer self better still is a very fuzzy topic for me.

Not everyone of course, because being everyone's darling isn't a role for humans like us two to achieve. But the good people. (The right people). Funny thing about this fact is, that you can read it in the Stoa from Epictet and from Lao Tse in his description of the Tao. But even that i did way too late in my life, sadly.
