I Wanted Revenge; Here’s Why I Let It Be Instead

October 7, 2025 Despite decades of reputable, illuminating research on ADHD and its treatments, misinformation and stigma are making a comeback. A widely read New York Times Magazine article published earlier this year titled "Have We Been Thinking About ADHD All Wrong?" is a prime example.The article, which generated a lot of controversy and response from clinicians and advocacy groups, suggested that ADHD treatment need only address daytime challenges for school children, minimized the benefits of multimodal care, and understated the harms of untreated ADHD.

“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.”As you age you will learn to value your time, genuine relationships, meaningful work, and peace of mind, much more. Little else will matter.Deep down you know that already, right?Yet on most days, just like the majority of us, you get distracted by so many others things. You give your time to lots of meaningless time-wasters.

The Passivhaus standard is a rigorous energy efficiency standard for buildings that originated in Germany in the late 20th century. It aims to create comfortable living spaces with minimal energy consumption, emphasizing air quality, thermal comfort, and sustainable building practices. Homes built to these standards rely on high-quality insulation, airtight construction, and efficient heating and cooling systems. Understanding the significance of this sta

You don’t realize how often you block your own present blessings by holding on to everything so tightly.It’s always necessary to accept when some part of your life has reached its inevitable end. Closing the door, completing the chapter, turning the page, etc. It doesn’t matter what you title it; what matters is that you find the strength to leave in the past those former parts of your life that are over, and those little ideals in your mind that simply aren’t meant to be.Over the past 15 years, as Angel and I have gradually worked with hundreds of our course students, coaching clients, and live event attendees, we’ve come to understand that the most common cause of human frustration on an average day is our stubborn propensity to hold on to things long after it’s time to let go. In a nutshell, we hold on tight to the hope that things will go exactly as we imagine, and then we complicate our lives to no end when they don’t.So let’s take a look at some of those things we ultimately regret holding on to in life…Try to use frustration and inconvenience to motivate you rather than annoy you. You are in control of the way you look at life. Instead of getting angry, find the lesson.

I coach ambitious, high-potential people who want to perform better at work and in life. And one of the most common topics that comes up? Goal setting.The truth is, most people’s goals are doomed from the start.

“It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes—it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, ‘Well, if I’d known better I’d have done better.’” ~Maya Angelou

The sustainable business movement didn’t emerge from boardroom brainstorming sessions or consultant recommendations—it was built on the intellectual foundations laid by visionary authors who spent years proving that environmental responsibility and business success were not just compatible, but mutually reinforcing. Three groundbreaking books from the 1990s provided the frameworks, vocabulary, and analytical tools that transformed sustainability from a fringe concern into a mainstream business imperative.

Let’s start off here with a simple question:Why do we always take things personally?There are admittedly quite a few valid reasons to consider. But the one Marc and I have found to be most common through 15 years of working with our coaching clients and live event attendees is the tendency we all have of putting ourselves at the center, and seeing everything — every event, conversation, circumstance, etc. — from the viewpoint of how it relates to us on a personal level.

Misconceptions about ADHD’s treatments – medication, in particular – persist, despite decades of research proving their safety and efficacy. The benefits of medication, to be clear, extend beyond the classroom and workplace; ADHD medication reduces the risk of “dire consequences” and saves lives.But there is so much more to treating ADHD.

The following is a personal essay, and reflects the opinion of its author.September 30, 2025The Trump administration continued its attack on autism last week, this time by linking Tylenol (acetaminophen) use in pregnancy to autism and strongly discouraging its use. (“Fight like hell not to take it” and “tough it out,” Trump told expectant moms.)White House Press Secretary Karolina Levitt said, “The Trump administration does not believe popping more pills is always the answer for better health.”Hold on: I am healthy.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently issued new guidance that recommends mental and behavioral health screenings for children, beginning at 6 months old.Citing the rising rates of mental, emotional, and behavioral health concerns for children in the United States – estimated to affect 13% to 20% of the population – the AAP says an additional 19% of children experience problems that cause impairment or distress but don’t meet diagnostic criteria for a specific disorder.As a pediatrician well acquainted with the AAP’s Bright Futures screening for well visits, I know mental health screening is an important and much-needed tool to better identify mental health concerns early and effectively. There’s an extra layer of urgency around providing early, comprehensive screening for neurodiverse children.Many parents and even pediatricians know that neurodiversity can be misunderstood, overwhelming, and/or confusing.

Enjoy the audio version of this post!Do you feel like your attention span is that of a rock? Is TikTok rotting your brain to the point where you hyperventilate if you forget to bring your phone with you to the bathroom? (Shout out to those who had to read the backs of shampoo bottles to pass the time when they were kids!) Here’s a novel (the pun should hit you any second) idea to repair it: the mystical art of… reading.For people with ADHD, the benefits of reading are many:But, as someone with ADHD, I know how absurd it sounds to say, “Just sit down and read!”Reading isn’t so simple if you’re fighting against the weight of inattention, impulsivity, low boredom tolerance, dyslexia or another learning difference, and have a brain that’s accustomed to the overstimulating content on social media. It can feel like having leg weights on your brain 24/7.The good news is, reading really can be for everyone.

It takes roughly 66 days to form a habit. So for the next 9 weeks look at the bright side of your life, and you will rewire your brain.If the grass looks greener on the other side…Stop staring.Stop comparing.Stop complaining.And START watering the grass you’re standing on…Truly, the most powerful weapon against stress on the average day is our ability to choose one thought or response over another.

Accept yourself, embrace the present, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly in life, you have to let go of things that weigh you down.Each prompt below contains a quote and question to think about. I have personally used each of these prompts several times in the past to nudge myself into self-reflection, and I continue to revisit them regularly.

In workplaces around the world, there’s a growing gap between employers and employees and between superiors and their teams. It’s a common refrain: “People don’t leave companies, they leave bad bosses.”While there are, of course, cases where management could do better, this isn’t just a “bad boss” problem. The relationship between leaders and employees is complex.

It always feels better to be exhausted from taking little steps forward, than it does to be tired of doing absolutely nothing.In 1911 two explorers, Amundsen and Scott, embarked on a race against each other to become the first known human being to set foot upon the southernmost point of Earth. It was the age of Antarctic exploration, as the South Pole represented one of the last uncharted areas in the world.

Truck accidents are among the most dangerous events on the road. Because of their size and weight, trucks can cause devastating damage when something goes wrong, and victims often face life altering injuries, financial hardship, and emotional trauma. While every crash has unique circumstances, certain factors appear repeatedly in accident investigations. Recognizing these causes helps […]

The truth does not cease to exist when it is forgotten or ignored.You know how you can hear or read something dozens of times in various ways before it finally sinks in? The truths listed below fall firmly into that category — timeless lessons that many of us probably learned years ago, and have been reminded of ever since, yet for whatever reason we tend to forget in the heat of the moment.This, my friends, is my attempt at helping all of us, myself included, “get it” and “remember it” once and for all…We know deep down that life is short, and that death will happen to all of us eventually, and yet we are infinitely surprised when it happens to someone we know. It’s like walking up a flight of stairs with a distracted mind, and misjudging the final step. You expected there to be one more stair than there is, and so you find yourself off balance for a moment, before your mind shifts back to reality and how the world really is.So let that reminder be a wake-up call to truly live your life today! Don’t ignore death, but don’t be afraid of life either.

“In elementary school my parents told me it didn’t matter what I did when I grew up, so long as it made me happy. ‘Happiness is the whole point of life,’ my father said. ‘But it doesn’t always come easy. Your mother loves to help people in need, so she became a psychiatric nurse. I love reading, writing and poetry, so I became an English teacher. We both find happiness in the hard work we do each day.’A few years later when I was in junior high, my sixth-grade homeroom teacher put me in detention for ‘being difficult.’ She went around the classroom and asked each student what they wanted to be when they grew up. When she got to me, I told her I wanted to be happy. She told me I was missing the whole point of the question. I told her she was missing the whole point of life.”That’s an old parable my grandmother recited to me countless times when I was a kid.

It happens to all of us gradually as we live and grow. We discover more about who we are and the way life is, and then we realize there are some changes we need to make. The lifestyle we’ve been living no longer fits.
