The Zero Point we don’t talk about enough
Sometimes one negative life experience looks like a total disaster. Like “why me?”, “what did I do wrong?”, and “can I return this life, it’s broken” 😄 But later, when dust is down and emotions stop screaming, we can see something interesting. That bad moment can be a gift. Not a pretty one with ribbon, more like a strange box that teach us something important. When we analyze it, not run away from it, it can become a critical point. The point where old version of us ends and something new and more valuable starts. Life can hit us through many doors. Mental bullying from close people. Struggling with weight. Deep loneliness. Money problems that keep you awake at night. Things like this don’t just hurt the mind, they touch identity. Sometimes it brings a feeling like you are dying. Like everything is over. And in a way… it is. One part of you really leaves. An old version, old survival patterns, old beliefs. I have seen this on my own skin. Painful experiences makes everything stop.🛑 Dreams, trust, plans, dreams… boom, gone. At that moment it felt unfair and honestly, it was unfair. This is the place I call Zero Point. Painful but at the same time critically necessary to be able to be there, understand and reflect. Understanding the background later does not make it right. But it helped me to forgive. To forgive others, and very important – to forgive myself. Because many times we don’t know why people act like they do. We don’t see their fears, wounds, or limits. This is not excuse for bad behavior, but it is explanation that helps us move on without carrying heavy stones in heart. Maybe that experience was sent to us not to punish, but to redirect. A forced stop. A zero point. End of one chapter, start of another. And here is a honest question for you. Can you really forgive yourself and others so deeply that when you think about that situation, your feeling is neutral? You know it was wrong, you know it hurt, but your body is calm. No tight chest, no anger, no sadness. Only awareness. Maybe even peace. Sometimes even love.
