ZERO: START EQUAL - WHERE TO START
Zero represents the initial balance and neutrality of things.
Before crafting an equation to deal with things in life - people, objects, events - all variables must start equal, at zero.
Only once variables are shown positive or negative should you adjust your internal formulae for accepting them.
You should not predetermine the value of things based on predeveloped routines.
These shortcuts may sometimes save time, but weak presumptions will often lead you to false conclusions.
Take the time to understand the true value of things before guessing their worth.
Always assume a starting balance of zero until the positive or negative weight of each thing is known.
From zero you should work toward being a positive variable in the process of others, but realize that their own evaluation may stil fix you at or below zero.
The impossibility of being a positive variable in all cases should be known and accepted.
ORANGE: TOWARD GOALS - WHERE TO GO
Orange represents the various goals and destinations in one's life and how one approaches them.
It is a combination of O and Range where the O is an objective and the Range is a plan to target and hit that objective.
One should manage at least one O-Range at all times lest their life wander aimlessly into the direction of others.
A person capable of handling multiple O-Ranges at once should do so, but only to a feasible level.
Too many O-Ranges can overlap, interfere with, and prevent the completion of additional goals, making them unachievable.
Larger, seemingly impossible objectives should be handled in a series of smaller ranges building toward that ultimate goal.
Your O's (objectives) are your own personal goals and should be within reach and of benefit to yourself and/or others.
Your Ranges (plans) are also personal and can be designed in a way that makes sense, and is understandable, to you.
POINT: LIVE NOW - WHEN TO GO
Point represents this exact moment in time: now.
The events of the past have led you to this point and have provided you with the tools necessary to work within this live point.
Those past events are a valuable reference guiding the decisions of now.
Do not waste your point attempting to adjust past events as you will lose the absolute opportunity of now.
All future events depend on the quality of decisions and actions made in this point.
Better decisions and actions now tend to steer a better overall future, no matter the degree.
Look at any inanimate object near you and remember that the object didn't move five seconds ago.
No matter how hard you try, you cannot move that object five seconds ago.
Using this live point, move the object and realize that now is the time to affect change - five seconds from now you will remember the move.
Now is the point in time where you could and should make things happen.
HOLLOW: OPEN IDEAS - HOW TO GO
Hollow represents a hollow mind open to learning and considering new ideas while reconsidering old ideas.
Too often one will process a thought long enough to staisfy their own interest before storing the idea in a finished state.
That finished thought occupies space just waiting for a chance to make itself known as the pre-packaged whole that it has become.
There is no room for the thought to evolve and it leaves less room for other thoughts to evolve.
Each finished thought piles on to the mess of other finished thoughts until the person is left with no room to work with new ideas.
Eventually the mind becomes full and unable to accept new ideas, overlowing lesser bits to the drain of eternity.
A hollow mind is different from an empty one that lacks all thought and ability to consider.
A hollow mind is open and available - waiting to process and imagine new thoughts and ideas.
You should maintain a hollow mind by actively seeking unfinshed thoughts and reevaluating finished thoughts.
Don't let stale ideas stagnate and fill up to the point of mental capacity and overflow.
