"It’s incredibly fulfilling work – I get the honor of helping couples learn to love again and keep their families intact." Ms. Orlov
Of all things anyone can aspire to and to achieve during his/her lifetime that is of ultimate importance, it is exactly what Ms. Orlov and her team are doing. Children need loving parents who strive together to make a healthy, warm, nurturing environment and everyone needs to love and to be loved. To dedicate one's life to assist families to reestablish loving bonds is the summum bonum.
Wasting time
Submitted by repeat that please on
I hate wasting time. My tendency as an ADHDer is to race from one topic or project or lover to another. Boredom feels lethal to me.
I want to get down to brass tacks. Don't want to waste time and energy on that which isn't really important. I just have to figure out what is the most valuable thing in this world. After much thought and reading and talking and listening to others, and much trial and error, it seems to me that unselfish service to my fellow human beings is where the key to a meaningful life resides. So, I direct my energies along those lines.
Much of what I see in the world tells me I am a fool. Achieving wealth and power and adulation are where it's at. And then I reflect on the lives of some people I've known who had it made on the outside, and inside they were unhappy, lonely people.

Brass tacks?..What is important? What is a waste of time and energy?....You can get lots of different answers here...LOL...
I'm 62...I've made many things important...(much like you, very active in body and mind)....But I will share a few thoughts here that life experience have taught me....1) Nothing is as important to me, as me...Me, meaning my Eternal Soul....Of course, I lived much of my life, making decisions about what I felt was good for me in the moment... (my fleshly desires)...Which wasn't a sustainable way to have long term peace, contentment or happiness...And sadly this style of living usually involved hurting and using others...(or sharing in mutual and sinful acts, at a minimum)....
I think as human beings, we must ask our selves a few questions....How do I not (or stop) hurt others, just to satisfy my own selfish desires?? If I don't deal with this question, any future reality I have will be dysfunctional at best....
So working from that mind-set I have come to a few conclusions....1) The purity and unity of marriage is a great gift from God...2) Being single is also a great from God, for people who's disabilities of mind and body render them incapable of sharing in all aspects (work) of family and relational living....
Long term problems (those without remedy) only occur for those of us, who refuse to ask ourselves the right questions... And, refuse to recognize which category our life style's put us in, 1 or 2? We can lie to ourselves, but, we just can't lie to the reality of our past...Hmmm?....I guess we can die blaming others...(:

We do have much in common. Are you an ADHDer or a spouse of one?
Someone said something like even giving someone a cup of cold water is a big deal.

Yep...What ever we do in his name, (for the right reason..LOVE)... is a big deal...:)...My Wife is add....I've never been diagnosed, but, my daughter was diagnosed mild to moderate after she was an adult...And she is much like me....I was talking to her a few days ago, and it came up...And in conversation I said I might me adhd....She said..."Dad why do you keep saying you might me? You are!"...LOL....
Who knows?...I know one thing....As long as I never make excuses for not taking care of my responsibilities, or hurting others...It doesn't matter...It's just another thing to work through, and that makes us stronger....
A Servant
Submitted by repeat that please on
I think it was some famous, ancient, spiritual teacher who said being everyone's servant is what's cool, not being a big shot, or something like that.
You are a bright, big-hearted, deep thinking man who has very high goals for himself and really cares about others. (Your big-heartedness is so prominent, so bold and out there, I wouldn't be surprised if you had a touch of ADHD.)
