Level Up. We usually hear these words when we play arcade or video games when we have already achieved a certain degree of success and we proceed to the next phase.

In the real world, we all look forward to hear the words level up which means so many things in different aspects of our lives. It can be for our serious relationships with our significant other from getting to know, to courtship, to being together, to the proposal, to marriage, to being married, to having a family of their own and so forth. These various stages represent not only milestones but level up's of the relationship. In one's career, it can also start from application, getting an interview, getting a call, being hired, entry level position, being promoted, working on bigger roles and so on and so forth. Everybody apparently wants to grow and to face new challenges and levels of success.

Nobody wants to stay static. We move to be better. We can see this in our biggest treasures, our children, from the moment they were born, to them being able to carry their feeding bottles, to eating food, to walking, to talking, to being independent and more. This shows that we conquer phases in our lives and move to new endeavors that we previously couldn't directly handle or manage. At the right time, right training, right age and right situation, we can make things better and conquer a new challenge in our life.

In God's best time, He will give us what we truly deserve. With his guidance and the help of our loved ones and people around us, no challenge is hard to win.

Let us continue to work to be better than what we were. Let us continue to reach our dreams. Let us not just be contented but let us feel the need to do more and to be more.
