Self-efficacy is the power you have to act on your life and affect outcomes. In self-help terms, this is intention. When you have adult attention deficit disorder (ADD), living with intention means that although you recognize that your ADD is real, you choose to live a full life -- and you set the course for what a full life means. Once you're aware of exactly how ADD limits your life, you can begin to make different choices. You can set the intention to not be ruled by your ADD, and instead allow other parts of yourself have a say in directing your life.
