YOU ARE ENOUGH.

Going To Another Level

Recently at a lunch to celebrate Black History Month, a choir sang a simple but powerful song by Israel Houghton "Going to Another Level". 

The lyrics are minimalist:  I'm going to another level.  Don't stop reaching.  Keep believing. Come on. We're going to another level.  Don't stop pressing for your blessing. Come on. We're going to another level.  Gotta keep pressing on.

It got me thinking...what if this was my response to life?  What if I encouraged everyone, those for me and those against me, to take it to the next level? 

The next level is subjective for everyone, but the point is that we can encourage one another to make progress towards positivity.  This might require some work on our part...we may have to work hard to get to the next level.  But sometimes, a little encouragement is exactly the boost we need.   Sometimes a little constructive criticism is the boost we need. 

It is about using WHATEVER you are given to advance yourself for the better.  This is not a selfish act but rather a selfless act.  No one may ever recognize your improvements but you have to keep pressing on, keep believing in yourself, and keep reaching.  Say it and mean it - I am going to another level.
