Make Yourself Zero

Q: I’m 28 years old, I have no career, still live with my parents, and have failed miserably at mostly every aspect of my life. My self-esteem is incredibly broken. I feel idiotic and hopeless. How can I change this?

A: Unemployed, jobless, not worth getting a job.

Living with parents, dependent, not capable of living alone.

Failed in some ventures, I can't succeed, will always fail.

My life is worthless, inferior to others; I am a fool, no wisdom, no intelligence.

My age is 28, it's too much to take risks, try, my life is almost over.

This is your identity.

Not for this universe, but the image of yourself in your mind, forming an infinite loop of miseries.

For the universe, you are an active human, with a mind and body, capable of acting.

You have created a wall of these dirty bricks all around you.

The wall may be a practical option to restrict yourself, but it isn't the only way of life.

Yes, you have failed in life, yes, you haven't achieved much, yes there's a lot to be done.

But the bigger truth is every new moment is a fresh opportunity, not to end all the problems at once by using a magic wand but to move ahead in life, make a start, and become better than the previous moment.

Stop seeing yourself how you see yourself now.

Just stop seeing yourself.

Remove that identity if it's not worth carrying.

Make yourself zero.

A man born at the age of 29 gets to live a life of around 40 years.

You are an active human with 40 years of active life allotted. Not less.

Be free from any old achievements, failures, judgments.

Start step by step and walk on the path of betterment, improvement, and happiness.

See what best can be done.

Living with parents is not a crime but a privilege; keep enjoying it and feel blessed to have it.

Change the career line, aim at making a basic start, give some time on research, study, skill acquisition, and start afresh. At present, aim for a start and not the sky.

Strengthen your self-esteem because self-esteem is not dependent on any material or achievements. 

You have life, you have self-esteem, no need to degrade it, just feel proud to have a life. Don't bother, don't see yourself from the eyes of others, be alone if needed and enjoy the solitude.

Idiotic, stupid, fool, these are all relative terms based on comparisons. I am sure you are capable enough to protect yourself and survive through hard work and some privileges you have. 

Well, that's enough purpose of life. Don't stick these posters on your forehead; they will restrict you, not let you improve and grow.

Change your identity by making the previous identity zero and creating a fresh identity from scratch.
