YOUR LIFE A-Z: ZERO

ALL THINGS BEGIN ZERO 

ZERO

Zero is a very powerful number in our numerical system.  ZERO has the power to change any number into something different.  ZERO also has the power to be a great equalizer.  ZERO is the starting point of any game and the beginning point of life.  After that it is up to our energy, effort, and desire.  We really can change things in our lives when we stop looking at what we don’t have, quit whining and feeling sorry for ourselves; and focus on the goal we want to achieve.  Maybe as a kid or even as an adult you have been telling yourself that you are nothing but a great big ZERO. If you add yourself to a one you enhance that one to a ten.  If you add yourself to a team of ten you create one hundred possibilities.  In New York City there is Ground ZERO taking the name from the definition of ground ZERO, the point of detonation after the 9/11 attack on the US.  It is now a memorial and aplace of remembrance that the USA was detonated and leveled to ZERO for the first time in our history.  It is a place where we say, “never again.”  But in reality we can’t prevent another detonation.  Neither can you but you can decide how you want to respond to an emotional, relational or physical detonation that takes you to your personal ground ZERO. You can build a memorial to your pain as a reminder to stay awake to life, but never allow yourself to believe ZERO is an impossible number.

YOUR LIFE A-Z ZIP

GET CLEAR WITH YOURSELF

ZIP

Perhaps the first image that comes to mind when you see the word ZIP is that of you or someone else dangling from a cable in the middle of Costa Rica’s rain forest.  Or maybe the word ZIP made you check your zipper to make sure it was closed.   Whatever the image the word ZIP produced, it is packed full of various definitions that are useful.  Even though snail mail is almost a thing of the past, your mail will not get delivered unless the ZIP code is correct.  Then there are ZIP files that contain multiple pieces of information compacted into one file.   Does the step of your foot to the music of your soul have ZIP in it today?  Is there a sense of direction, purpose and conviction in your life today?  What do you need to ZIP open to enjoy today a bit more?  What do you need to ZIP closed to have more time to do what brings you pleasure?  What do you need to address in your life that allows you to be direct and clear? Maybe you are giving yourself mixed messages about your hearts desire and are staying stuck in the harness on the ZIP line platform rather than taking a deep breath and jumping off to make it to the next platform.  In order to get what you want, you have to a clear ZIP; an adventurous attitude; and the ability to handle multiple issues at one time.  Now, go get your ZIP on.
