its very undeserving that people always consider the number zero (0) as failure or defeat but in the true sense of it the number zero is just a natural number whose DNA is neither a positive nor negative as only numbers below zero are called negative while numbers above zero are considered positive, but thats not the ball game here, lets talk it out with respect to neutrality.
Wherever it is that you and i come from there are societal classes in which our family's are in, irrespective of your class be it Low class, Average class or the High class there is an expectation made of you as an individual member of that family...Expectations to the extent that you are not to produce results below that so called mark as imprinted by the family. This may be spoken to you directly in person by the family or by body gestures its been communicated to you. Sometimes you hear words like " in this family, we dont accept any thing less than excellence" . Now lets consider such words coming from mostly the family of the high classes.
In reality and my personal disposition, every one has his or her level of growth in all ramifications of life and such, everyone be allowed to move at his or her own pace as it would give such am individual the opportunity to naturally discover who he or she is and what he or she loves and wants to put in the best for but here is a matter of question, will that make a person achieve his or her full potential? .
Now, having communicated with a number of persons within my age range i realised that most expectations always come with excessive pressure that mostly cause conflicts of interests between the family's and the younger individuals in the home , thats is to say you are expected to be this and that or achieved this or that already at this point and at this age in life because " when so and so member of the family were are that age, they had achieved that result"... This statement in fact can be breathe taking. In their own way they feel they are doing you a favour by pushing you to reach your full potentials but how much true is there to this?
I had to choose the state which i called ' the solid Zero',
its the state where everyone has given up on you , everybody has lost expectations on you, nothing much is believed to come out of you, this is the most fertile ground for me personally because its a neutral zero level, a point where you now have the clear head and breath to look deep to yourself, dedicate yourself, grow yourself, improve yourself whilst everyone is busy and forgotten about you , whilst you are left there to most likely produce the negative outcome since you couldn't and didnt choose their path...most times you are now considered the black sheep of the family
the solid zero maybe an opportunity to proof yourself less or more than anyone could expect of you but one thing that must sure be the case is this ( keep on working the you in you), you just have to wake up daily and put in that effort again until there is juice produced out of the squeeze. If this is the point you are in life, the solid zero then know this, you are not a failure, you are not a minus rather you are in the line between two possible outcomes therefore you must make a deliberate choice because only you can determine what you had become afterwards so never is giving up an option. Remember, ZERO is not failure , its not even a win, it is a neutral number so get on kicking...
thank you for the read be lifted
