Fish Can't Climb

-- Albert Einstein
A 7th grade teacher once said to my ADHD child, "If you would just focus more, you'd understand this better." The teacher may as well have asked my daughter to be taller. Bex is, and always has been a beautifully dynamic and creative soul. She lives in the moment and from her heart so effortlessly.
Judging her by her ability to focus rather than her ability to learn dismissed her strengths, her individuality and her genius. And it demeaned her.
How much longer will you judge yourself? How much longer will you demand things of yourself that are beyond your capacity?
You are a genius. (If Einstein said it, it must be true!)
