We all get 100. WAG100.

Is it possible that life IS fair?

That Yin and Yang is true?

That she isn’t luckier than me?

YES! We All Get A Hundred. Of Everything.

To clarify, when I say “100”, what I really mean is: “Any-multiple-or-part-of-a-hundred” (sorry, I'm a math teacher...) One WHOLE life. 100%. We all get the same balance of everything. Equal balance.

And by EQUAL, I actually mean FAIR.

The WAG100 concept is simple.

After many years in the classroom I began to notice that ALL of the “low” students (academically and behaviourally speaking) were exceptional in at least one other area. Gymnastics. Engineering. Drawing. Sports. But not just other “intelligences”, also strengths in fortune. For example, say a boy (hypothetical) had trouble socially and got into conflicts with most of his peers, and on the flip side, his family was wealthy and they traveled frequently. Surely he learned many things travelling that his classmates wouldn’t learn in the classroom, not to mention all that bonding time with his family on their trips.

So, those things are in his 100. EVERYTHING else in the 100, plus his social behaviour with peers and his wealth and travelling make up who he is, all his experiences and his entire life in relation to everything else. Everything.

He gets no more or less than the other kid in his class who has 6 best friends, but also gets along with everyone else, is funny, straight A’s who’s family is going through a divorce and living paycheck to paycheck.

We. All. Get. A. Hundred.

STOP. Before we go any further, I want to admit that I live in a comfortable, wealthy and relatively “fair” society here in Canada, North America.

I am most certainly in a privileged bubble here on my island.

However, I am not so bubbled that I think a refugee, or even many North Americans will always fall into my WAG100 theory when compared with people from other bubbles.

I see that WAG100 is a theory of relativity, and can only really be used when comparing people having experiences in the same bubble.

To clarify further. A “Bubble” is not necessarily geographic. It can be a cultural bubble, a spiritual bubble, a music fan-club bubble, an era/generation bubble...yada yada.

This is not scientific and can be disapproved a million times, I’m sure.

But it is a pattern, and one that makes me feel better.

My point. Don’t be jealous. We all get a hundred. Social comparisons don’t make a whole lot of sense. We are constantly judging people's insides by what we see on their outsides. And people are doing it to us.

For many people, a person with ADHD is often like a mosquito, buzzing around annoyingly, with timing that is always never right. At least that’s what it feels like sometimes with ADHD. Whether you are the mosquito or it's someone else in the tribe who is buzzing around your space...They decide they don't like us. Or we don't like them. Annoying. Keeps interrupting. Self-absorbed.

I’ve been called many things. Among them, I’ve been called a hazard, annoying, too loud, too sensitive, and lazy.

I am those things sometimes. But I am a lot of other things as well. Caring, open, honest, ADHD, generous and smart, to name a few. When I'm a mosquito, people often don't see my strengths. It would take some serious mindfulness to be able to do that. One would need to see through a lens of love, then love themselves, then others, and then mosquitoes. That takes hard work, concentration, positive self-talk, not so easy. It's like salmon swimming against the current to lay their eggs. It kills them. And people are busy. (I'm on level 1703 in TwoDots.)

But imagine what it would be like if everyone you knew truly believed in WAG100…

Judgements be gone! Strengths be recognized! Emotionality be aspired! World peace!

Shall our tribe (bubble) lead the way? Shall we try dropping our judgments by seeing through a lens of love, loving ourselves, others and mosquitoes? And mindfully remember WAG100?

Remember, if I don’t like you, it’s kind of a me problem. You're just being a 100 of you.
