How To Avoid Being Fooled By "The Next Level"


How To Avoid Being Fooled By "The Next Level"

Common language and promises exist today to get you to "the next level."

But what does that really mean?

Sometimes, you can get caught up chasing the level that others put forth for you.

Like the child striving to live into the version the parent sets forth. 

Some live their whole lives in such a way... constantly striving towards "the next level."

Seeking to please.

Sometimes, not ever having that desire to please fully satiated. 

This isn't always a conscious habit.

This can be a reaction to a created habit that was born in the past and unexamined for the future. 

Billion dollar industries exist because of this desire to please and become.

This desire to do more.

This desire to "reach the next level." 

I wonder what might happen if you defined your own version of this next level.

Aligned with who you are. 

Aligned with your values

Aligned with where you want to be.

Or perhaps you uncover that you're at peace with where you are and there is something else that exists for you. 

And it is not on a level.
