How I turned my ADHD into an asset

by Tellmann Knudson

Tellmann describes how he discovered how to use his ADHD as his greatest asset, by finding out how to overcame Femoral Anteversion (twisted legs) with a secret focus technique that guarantees success at anything you try...if you are ADD or ADHD!

When you hear this, you're not going to believe it, but I swear, every word is absolutely true...

When I was a kid in junior high, I was pretty down-and-out—you know, skinny, watched a disgusting amount of tv, didn't have any real friends...

and on top of it all, I was "classic" ADD... and on top of that,

my LEGS were deformed...

Now those of you who know me may find that hard to believe, (since you know I run marathons these days) but it's true!—

I haven't told many people about this, but... I was born with my legs twisted inward at a forty-five-degree angle—(it's called "Femoral Anteversion") and, at the age of fourteen, I still couldn't walk without stumbling...

You can imagine, it didn't help me out in school, either in the friend department or in confidence (forget girlfriends!). Kids laughed at me and worse

(you know how thirteen year olds can be—can you guess how many times they stuck their feet out to trip me in the bus aisles?) so,

between that and my ADHD, most of the time I just zoned-out in front of a video game or computer screen eating chips and drinking Pepsi, trying to forget about my life...

That's when the doctors told me they were going to have to break both of my legs—

if I ever wanted to walk normally.

They said they would break both of my thigh bones with "flat breaks", drive metal rods into the bones to hold them straight...and then it would take six months (minimum) in full casts to wait for them to heal...

....What could I do? I really wanted to walk normally—but six months in a cast—at the beginning of the summer?? I was dreading it, to say the least...but even so, I NEARLY said "yes" to the operation...

But I didn't.

Reason was, some older guys from school who had kind of "taken me under their wing" wanted me to go out for cross-country running...

Now, I knew I sucked at running—in fact, the other kids AND THE COACH, if you can believe it, made fun of me when I tried out for it...

but I really wanted to be good at SOMETHING, and I didn't want to stay inside all summer... so, to put it off, I told my parents and the doctors that I would just practise running for the summer, and then I would get my legs broken and put in casts when school started in the fall.

What happened then is really incredible, I almost still don't believe it...

Now, as some of you know, when I decide to do something, I generally don't "under-do" it— and, some would say, I always OVER-do it...

and that's what I did with running that summer: I became a complete raving fanatic about it...

Pretty soon I was running miles a day on the back roads and forest trails around my house. And that fall, I went to school and tried out again for cross-country and got on the team—

and started running to and from school, as well as in practice, even in winter—

I'd come into school and open my jacket and SHEETS of ice would just fall out of my jacket and onto the floor!— from frozen sweat. yes, I was a maniac! ... and here's what happened: my leg muscles became so strong that they LITERALLY PULLED MY LEG BONES AROUND AND STRAIGHTENED THEM OUT.

(if you want visible proof, just read on to find out where you can see a photo of me today)

....and I went on from there to run marathons. AND,

I also went on to discover how to USE my ADHD as my GREATEST ASSET, by finding out how to use a SECRET MINDSET and FOCUS TECHNIQUE that guarantees you success at anything you try...if you are ADD or ADHD!...

(and later, I founded my own successful business...which now allows me to fly around the world doing exactly what I love doing... but that's another story!:)...

Sooo———

"why am I telling you all this?"

Because, if you have ADD or ADHD, you are facing a problem that other people have tried to solve for you... by "BREAKING" you...just like they tried to break me...

don't get me wrong—we both know they're just trying to help (well, most of them)—like the doctors and my parents

and what I want you to know, what I absolutely HAVE TO get through to you is this...

YOUR ADD IS THE ONE THING that could make you more successful in life than anything else... it is the one thing that has gotten me where I am today...

and if I had made the wrong decision that day, if I'd let them break my legs, I can tell you today

So that's why I break out in a sweat whenever I think of what I almost did that day... let them break me.

Your ADD is the key to your greatness, my friend, and I am going to show you why.

Go now to www.adhdsecrets.com,

answer the one question you find there... and never let them tell you "it can't be done"!

To Perseverance, Determination—and Beating the Odds!
