Why ignore reality? Life with ADHD can get really hard. There are struggles aplenty. I do not have to describe them to you. Chances are, you know what I am talking about. In the moments when life seems difficult, what do you do? The answer can be found in a scene from the 2003 movie Finding Nemo. In the scene, Marlin is sad about his missing son and is ready to give up. That is when Dory swims up to him and encourages him to “just keep swimming.”

What do you want to do in life? How do you want to live your life? What can you do to live in alignment with your values? These questions get at your mission in life. It is important to have a mission in life. It serves as a guide for making decisions on both the big things in life and the little things. Knowing what you want to accomplish is going to be key to living a fulfilling life.
