The simple answer would be: I am a young, black man that has great goals and ambitions; and a flavorful taste in clothes.
Just as anyone else, I have my fair share of positive and negative characteristics:
1. Determined 1. Stubborn
2. Inspirational 2. Bossy
3. Knowledgeable 3. Know-It-All
4. Intelligent 4. Prideful
5. Dependable 5. Aggression
6. Consistent 6. Talkative
7. Confident 7. Arrogant
8. Understanding 8. Non-traditionalist
9.Charitable 9. Greedy
10. Leadership 10. The "Do-It-All"
However, humans are a bit more complicated than that. We have traits, desires, and values that we already have, are currently looking for, or will look for in the future. I am no exception in this regard; but, perhaps, you may find me to be one in another consideration.
I'll start out with defining the name. But before I do so, I must admit that this is an idea that I thought about after I played Assassin's Creed Odyssey. For that matter, one may deduce that I either play video games often (or too often) or I paid too much attention to them (I'd say probably both). However, it must also be noted that, while they may be seen as inaccurate, fun, and nothing of substance, there are important and meaningful pieces to take away from them.
Now, with reference to the Bible, "Zachariah" means "The Lord has remembered" and "White" means good, purity, honesty, and righteousness. These are all excellent values that I believe I value to a good extent. However, with all due respect to God and everything Holy, I'll provide an alternative definition personally tailored for me.
In fact, I'll refer to the visual up above and put my own spin to it. "The Everyman" sounds cool; but for me, I'd say "Zachariah White" means "The one who possesses many". It must be noted that the inclusion of "many" without specification as to what "The one" possesses is intentional. It means a broad variety of things from traits and characteristics to tendencies to physical possessions and so on and so forth.
It is this fundamental component which begets one of the significant values that I hold near and dear to me, which is the concept of success. Without success, it'll be near to impossible to fulfill this meaning.
With that being said, there's many versions of what success is, but I have created my own tailored just for me. All of these goals and desires lie in what I call "The Large Visions". I don't have this vision fully constructed, but it's been in the works for several years.
"The Large Visions" is comprised of several factors: "The White Empire", "The White Presidency", "The White Dynasty", "The White Monarchy", "The White Dictatorship", "The White Kingdom", and "The White Province". (Just to make it clear, "White" is a reference to Zachariah White)
With the fulfillment of each vision, the idea is to acquire and maintain a high-quality lifestyle with housing, consumption, transportation, financial status, political status, influential status, and entertainment in abundance of quality and quantity. Taking on just one of these objectives would be a hefty task, for anyone; let alone all of them. However, I wouldn't prefer it any other way.

A visual representation of "The Large Visions" (to some extent) |
"The Large Visions" is comprised of several factors: "The White Empire", "The White Presidency", "The White Dynasty", "The White Monarchy", "The White Dictatorship", "The White Kingdom", and "The White Province". (Just to make it clear, "White" is a reference to Zachariah White)
With the fulfillment of each vision, the idea is to acquire and maintain a high-quality lifestyle with housing, consumption, transportation, financial status, political status, influential status, and entertainment in abundance of quality and quantity. Taking on just one of these objectives would be a hefty task, for anyone; let alone all of them. However, I wouldn't prefer it any other way.
There's beauty, or something good, to be found in accomplishing difficult goals, especially those deemed impossible. It's what makes the moment that much greater for the one who accomplished it and the people on the outside looking in.
However, it must be noted that they don't come without its fair share of stressors that complicate things. One thing that everyone must be aware of is that most people have or had a "fire" (a visual of what they want for themselves in the future). This is something that people have while in youth, but is extinguished and watered down through teenage and adult years.
The perpetrators are the people and things that they encounter and interact with on a daily basis, especially those that they deem as "friends and families". In fact, they are the ones that have the greatest impact.
Nonetheless, it's complications like these that make the successes and the fulfillments that much better and meaningful. They act as heat to those in pursuit of something, and it'll either make or break those to which the heat is applied to.
The Lessons
1. Don't be afraid to use your imagination and envision a bright future for yourself; spare no detail. With reference to "The Large Visions", even though I gave a small description of what it is, it's one of those ideas that appear to be far-fetched (I'll elaborate in other posts to provide more detail). It's the type of idea that evokes praise for how exorbitantly high the ceiling is, and criticism for, perhaps, wanting everything.
"You can't have your cake and eat it, too."
To that I say, we only have one life, and we have to make the most of it. This is just one way, this is just my way of doing so. But it is this disapproval that leads to my next point.
2. For whatever future or goal(s) that you set for yourself, understand that the negative forces (that come in many forms) will start its pursuit. This doesn't mean that you change your ideas now or when you encounter it, but hold firm to those aspirations.
In other words (to create my own expression), "You have created a fire, beware of the water."
Translation: You have just started the first step to some level of fulfillment, but be aware of the people who speak doubt. Be aware of the difficult situations which may cause you to rethink your fire.
Not all visions, if any, are set and stone. However, one must be cautious not to allow it to be deterred, for it shows just how much the creator really wanted it.
