He's doing well. Day to day but so far it is a life changer.

I think it's all about getting a plan in place for this next generation.

They are totally bored out of there minds and don't know what to do with themselves so their minds wonder off into the what ifs.... Coulda woulda shouldas... I'm not measuring up to someone else's expectations etc...

You see there is a gap of where I am and where society thinks I should be...

WANT/NEEDS

• They want to be somebody
• Feel Important
• Important part of a team
• To be Heard - Respected
• To feel even a little Progress every day!
• Because Progress = Motivation

However most of this list is a wish list based on what everyone else thinks. In other words I have no control!

This leads to no progress and zero motivation. Then comes anxiety then depression then escape....

- Over sleeping so we don't have to deal with it
- Drugs to numb it
- etc..

All because the enemy has us trapped in the belief that our success is based on what other people perceive.

I may be way off here but I know from my own experience when I was 17-21. Somehow I got through it.

I need to stop worrying about things I can't control!

KEYS FOR ME:
• I Kept Moving
• I wouldn't let myself sleep in even though I didn't have class!
• I had goals
• I measured progress one day at a time!
• I rewarded effort rather than success of the world
• This kept me motivated

4 PILLARS - USED MY OCD IN A POSITIVE WAY REPEATING THE FOLLOWING EVERY DAY:

• Read Bible at least one minute a day
• Thank God for 10 things at least one minute per day
• Do one thing to help somebody new every day
(Could be an email of encouragement)

BEFORE BED

• Take one minute and write down 4 things I want to accomplish tomorrow to get me closer to my goal.

If I don't know what I want (which I didn't) I got a job and went to OCC to get me on some type of track.

I know it sounds basic but for me having OCD - Dyslexia etc., it wasn't.

Hope there are some things in here that helps.
