A message to “level up” came from my meditation. It took me by surprise, and then I realized it’s accuracy. While I haven’t been coasting by any means, I think I can stretch myself more. There is certainly reason to do so right now.
The picture, taken in NYC, notes the total change in perspective that comes from looking up – it is a metaphor for what it means to “level up”. There is a new sense of urgency to be the best we can be and to increase our output of positive creativity. The world needs us to be the best we can be, no excuses. No more letting the pandemic keep us in the shadows of life or using personal problems as reasons to not move forward. Consider what it would mean if you embraced the idea to level up.
Here are some thoughts.
WHY LEVEL UP NOW?
The message to level up included some background information. We have been given a gift to be creators of our lives that we often take for granted. Our hands and legs are the vehicles for our soul to take action. We have free will. We can use our gifts for good or we can use them for destruction and greed. While I assume, if you are reading this, you for in the category of wanting to do good, why not ask yourself if you are doing as much as you can.
There are forces of greed at work through out the world, the invasion of Ukraine being the most current graphic example. But it is everywhere, with pollution, destruction of resources, racism, prejudice, and injustice of every type. When we don’t address the greed and dark forces when we see them in front of us, we are by omission allowing it to occur. When we don’t push ourselves to be active with our voice, words and deeds, we are capitulating to malaise and by default supporting destruction.
WHAT WANTS TO CHANGE- IMPROVE
To bring this to a personal level, please ask yourself if there are ways you can change, do more or improve what you are doing. Can you level up to be a more creative force for good? Remember you are connected to mother earth and to the divine – you are a channel for goodness. What does that mean for you?
Every day you have a chance, with your words and action to push yourself to give a little more love, kindness, patience, compassion, sympathy and support. When you open yourself up, ideas for being more creative and proactive will come through. Speak up, take action, provide support and love to those in need, wherever you can.
RECOGNIZE WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK
A sense of weariness and melancholy has been prevalent for a while. I ’ve been writing about it lately – the ongoing pandemic, the economy, and politics have all taken a toll. It seems many people have fallen into themselves and are having trouble pulling themselves back out. Personal problems that have been long present are suddenly intolerable, moods are sour, people are disagreeable.
Thankfully this is not everywhere, I see many people giving their all. But if there is some truth in this for you, please take a moment and ask yourself what is holding you back. Recognize the first thing that comes to your mind. Sometimes it’s as simple as being influenced by group think.
GET SUPPORT – BE A SUPPORT
As you consider what this could mean for you, recognize that before you can be a support, be creative or take action of any kind, you may need to get support first. Depression and anxiety have been rampant these last few years. Recognize your own needs and address them, like putting on the oxygen mask first before helping others.
Some things you can do from home, like prayers and meditations for peace, writing and supporting causes on social media, and providing financial support. Other things will take your action but give you a boost in return, like being kind to others, spreading a message of love and offering help. And then there are lifestyle changes to launch self improvement, support a cleaner environment or joining a cause. Search yourself and see what fits and give yourself a chance to level up.
The idea that we need to level up, that we are not making the most of our gift of creativity and free will was a chilling message. It struck a chord as we watch the threat of greed and oppression unfold in Eastern Europe. Take this opportunity to to consider why this might be true for you now, what it would mean, what is holding you back and how you can move forward. Consider how you would benefit if you level up!
