Dominate Your Strengths
I often question "why" I choose to work + run a business with a severe disability?
It goes beyond quality of life/passion (and health costing money).
I want to be the example for both foster kids and ADHD-ers that says "with the right mindset and attitude, you do not need to stop dreaming, just use different methods."
I prefer financial elf-reliance as well. We are all unique. Providing for myself independently is a part of my identify, self-respect, and personal value code. It is integral for avoiding abusive relationships as well. Even in the case of healthy relationships, I do not care, I need self-reliance over giving up control over my own life to someone else like their subservient sl*ve. That is a core value. I will do whatever it takes to make space for me to provide for myself, even if it requires more sacrifices in other areas of life due to a time-consuming disability, I am not about to be subservient to anyone else or codependent.
Again, working with a severe disability and a side-hustle requires focus and sacrifices, naturally, but this is part of mental health for me and those who respect me will respect this. I miss out on nothing and no one when I align with my core values, and people who mind their own business and life path are happier.
