Boss Up

I see life like stages of a video game…

There comes a point in time where life becomes stagnant, when we run the same routine every single day because most of us find comfort in what’s familiar. Though when you find yourself stuck in that same routine and no longer find fulfillment in it, its time to level up.

I see life like stages of a video game (story mode). First stages we’re learning what the buttons do while exploring the area, and before you know it you open a door where you have no choice but to face an environment full of challenges.

You’ll know exactly what moves to make..

Sometimes it takes multiple times to complete a level and it’s frustrating to see the same stage over and over again because you haven’t learned what that stage is trying to teach you. If you’re determined enough, you’ll keep trying despite your failures just to get to the end where its safe again, because that’s the moment when you can finally see that you’re ready to see your new mission for the next level.

We’re going to fall and fail in life with challenges and there’s no way to avoid it but to keep pushing through. If you find yourself falling back repeating your past stages, you’ll know exactly what moves to make to get right back to the highest level you left off at.

This is your game..

There’s nothing like the feeling of completing the final yet hardest stage, and becoming stronger than what you first entered the game with. This is when you use all the tools you brought from your past stages in life to use to your advantage in order to overcome the hardest of times. When you make it passed that boss stage, you’ll realize the hard work you put in to reach a new level of yourself, and are now the boss of your own game. Remember this is your game, and a challenge wouldn’t be given to you if you were not meant to complete it…cause when you boss up, its game over.
