Where is the intersection of my desires and abilities? What feeds my soul and what skills do I have?
So often my ADHD brain runs from idea to idea, never settling on any one thing long enough to make meaningful progress on it. I mean, what if I get trapped into a single idea when there are so many other shiny ideas out there?! What would that mean for me? Certainly it would be death, right? My brain wonders where my next dopamine fix coming from!
This presents and interesting challenge. What are the skills I already have, and what is interesting enough to hold my attention long term? What’s going to give my brain that dopamine it so desperately desires? Even better, where do those two lists intersect? What is the Venn diagram that represents both “ooh shiny!” AND “I can do this” ?
That’s what I’m pondering this week. What does that Venn diagram look like? And can it be steady enough, interesting enough to hold my attention long enough to build something meaningful before the next evolution?
