Re: I'd be AMAZING at that! If only I knew what THAT was!

Hi all! Boy, it’s been over a year since I’ve been here!!! Well, interestingly, having been on Adderall XR for some time (and recently discontinued use of – more later on this), I had found a new job as a Sales Manager – in keeping with my career path thus far – but lo and behold, my job is yet again in jeopardy.

HOWEVER! This time, it is not through any mistake, misstep or fault of my own. The company is going through a massive restructuring (which I am a part of oddly) and it looks like I’ll be made redundant. It has led me though to take a longer, broader look into my history with employment. My wife (yup, got married this July) had some very interesting comments on her assessment of why I seem to be at a job for no more than 2 years at a time. I have always been very self-judgemental about why I “couldnt maintain a job”. Thought it was something I was or wasnt doing. In retrospect, my wife tagged the recurrance of me being hired by companies who were in enormous transitionary periods of their lifecycle. Hmmm…go on my love…She expressed the opinion that for whatever reason the Universe has deemed necessary, I am placed within these situations to assist the transition because whatever energetic resonance I exude, is needed by the people I come into contact with during my tenure with the company.

Wha??? Hang on. So what you’re saying is that I’m being placed in this situation because a person (or people) in this company need to learn something from me to aid their own transitions? Well that bloody well sucks! What about mine!? Then it hits me: truly, some of us are here as teachers, leaders, guides, etc. If I look back over the span of my adult life (indeed, most of my memorable childhood too), I have gravitated towards situations or positions of leadership. Having ADD, I am able to navigate chaos more easily with minimal collateral damage, more than most can. I’m curious to know how many of us here have been in similar positions or situations.

Having ADD, I am convinced that we are able to ‘tap into’ areas of intelligence or creativity that are hidden to most others (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it…btw, anyone else feel that when writing, parenthesis are their best friend?). Does this ability or “energetic resonance” have any bearing on our influence on others or situations? Are bosses intimidated by people like us? Are people naturally drawn towards us because we ‘know’ or ‘feel’ or ‘exude’ something that they need/want/don’t understand?

So many questions…
