Facing

It's not just your outlook on life, but where you look out. When I was a kid, my friends father had a Dodge Charger.....the one with the long sloping window. We made up this game where you would lay down on the deck in back and just looked up. You had to guess where you were on the road only by what you could see above. To be honest, there was very little you could tell from only seeing up.

ADD gives you this distracted "watch the world go by" personality. Focus is a big issue. So I have had to learn "facing". This is the concept of forced direction. When you are easily distracted by the world arou... "Oh look at the squirrel" ..nd you, you trip up and fall on your face. A fact of existence. And then you jump up and try to surge forward like it was all planned. That surge is where I get in trouble. If I don't have a true facing, well I off on a bunny trail, or was that a squirrel?

So getting a rock solid facing is critical from the start. ie, if you get up every morning and ride your bike west...sooner or later you will see the Pacific Ocean! And some really great squirrels!
