At the age of 25 I quit the drug thing, cold turkey and it was recommended that I get on prescription drugs to help me handle my "other" problems.
Instead, I took all of the time, energy and misdirection I had been wasting and threw it into my job. Almost immediately, I became the top producer where I worked. For the first time in my life I was winning and the more I won the more I wanted to win.

For the first time in my life I got it-- I didn't have a disease or deficits, I had gifts! I didn't have disabilities, I had unique and extraordinary abilities. I didn't have a compulsion or obsession, I had an undying yearning inside of me to make my dreams come true. I didn't have attention deficit disorder; I had a 1000 horsepower that just needed a purpose and direction.

I dare anyone to label my gifts or yours a disease, dysfunction or a deficit. I dare you to show me anyone doing something exceptional that is they are not compulsive, obsessed even addicted to the idea of doing. Martin Scorsese, Howard Schultz, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, Van Gogh, Walt Disney, and Ben Franklin--all of these geniuses were obsessed with their ideas, fanatics in the execution, and compulsive about making the world a different and better place!
