Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted to say welcome. He had a record night with about 1500 new subscribers coming in in a short period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you are doing well.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Want to hear something odd. I had several people “testing” recently in my organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When I say testing I mean it’s like “try outs” to see if the person will do well in our organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, 7 people tested. 3 with on or more disorders like bipolar disorder 4 without bipolar disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ALL the people with bipolar disorder are still working and on track to do great things. I had one problem with one person and that was corrected. However this person does do great work.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The odd thing is, all except one of the people without bipolar disorder have already quit.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Someone who works for me who does NOT have bipolar disorder was amazed how the people who have bipolar disorder work so well and can get so much done in ways that no one else ever thought of.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every time I see this happen, I am simply amazed myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You might not know this but I have about 14 people now who work for me with one or more mental illnesses. Sometimes less than that. Some people are very part time and only have specific duties that require only 1 day of work a week some people work every single day.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One has been diagnosed with 10 different disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Am I out of my mind? Some think that I am.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But I want to tell you two things.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First, if you have one or more disorders you can do well.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just look at this one person’s story:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She is a writer who has 10 different disorders, starting from when she was 12 years old! <\/span>She is on disability, but she loves to write, so maybe that’s part of it \u2013 she is doing what she loves to do. Do you think that’s her secret? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I think her secret is that she is stable. And she is stable because she follows a good treatment plan, including taking her medication and seeing a therapist.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, I have found that people who have mental disorders like bipolar disorder are really very smart when they are stable.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s amazing actually.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have found people in my company that once stable can do tasks and projects that nobody else can do or wants to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These people can think faster, better, solve problems faster, and are solution- oriented, proactive, take initiative, etc. It’s amazing!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If your loved one has a mental illness, remember this:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Great things in society were done by many people with mental illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Edgar Allen Poe was a great writer, and they say that even he had a mental illness. <\/span>There were a number of great authors, actors, composers, etc., who they say had mental illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If someone says you are odd, the only reason you would be odd is because you have such tremendous potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But does that mean you have a mental illness? <\/span>Not necessarily.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems below:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I talk about the stigma associated with mental illness, and that it’s due to society’s fear of people who are different than they are. <\/span>Different? <\/span>Smarter? <\/span>More creative?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If your loved one is these things, it’s not something to be afraid of. <\/span>As long as they are stable, and taking their medication and following a good treatment plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember about the people I told you about who work for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Different is not always bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

People always fear things they don’t understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And people don’t understand mental illness in general, and bipolar disorder in specific.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, sometimes people might be afraid of your loved one just because they have bipolar disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just because your loved one is “different.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that some people still believe that they can “catch” bipolar disorder like they can catch the flu or a cold?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s how ignorant some people still are.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So don’t think that different is bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

People with bipolar disorder are still some of the most creative, intelligent, strong, productive people I have ever known.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I could not have come as far as I have come unless I had many people who have bipolar disorder working for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember about the person who works for me who has 10 different disorders!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let me ask you a question. If you are a bipolar supporter don’t you find when you loved one is stable he\/she is really, really, really, really smart?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you have bipolar disorder, don’t you find that things that seemed hard for other people are easy for you? Don’t you find yourself bored and not challenged because you are creative and smart?<\/span><\/p>\n
