From Nothing we can create Everything

Merriam-Webster defines 

NOTHING as:  not any thing : no thing 

and

EVERYTHING as: all that exists

We must start from nothing to achieve everything. Everything is always there. Nothing only exists when we empty ourselves of the labels and loosen that strangling grip we allow our past to have on us.

If we say we are guilty then innocence is not possible.
If we say we are stupid then intelligence is not possible.

If we say we are a liar then honesty is not possible.

I say everything is possible because I am nothing...

"From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I used to believe that anything was better than nothing. Now I know that sometimes nothing is better."
-- Glenda Jackson

and the originator of these thoughts in my mind tonight is the author of the following quote: 

"One creates from nothing. If you try to create from something you're just changing something. So in order to create something you first have to be able to create nothing."
-- Werner Erhard

Goodnight! I must now find the nothing behind my eyelids... so sleepy...
