I mostly agree shutterbug. I am real sorry to hear your having a bad day. I know how that goes.
I suppose you can call it luck but I have had some things go right lately and they all seemed tied to past failures. In my life i have found that my calling is giving to others. It makes me happy and truly is my purpose in life. I guess i see that disccovery as happening only through my sympathy for others due to my own failings. I think if i didnt have ADHD and was born into a very rich and succesful family giving would still be my purpose in life but i never would have found it.
Maybe i am spinning it into my own positive view but it really is how i feel.
Fabulous– I dont see the physical or mental atributes as a gift thats for sure. On a very different but somewhat related example Nick Vujic comes to mind. Born with no arms and no legs. Throug being born that way he found his true calling which is being a motivational speaker and helping people around the world. Maybe if he wasent born with that horrible affliction he would have had a desk job, lived a mediocore life and never have found his ” calling”.
Maybe this is a reach.
