The Gamer's Guide to Leveling Up: In Real Life

Area Levels define your rewards in the game's algorithm in just about every style of RPG. Games are strategically designed to provide just enough direction and just enough loot to equip you for the next challenge. As you advance in the storyline, the area level in which you are playing advances and more challenging monsters appear, who leave greater drops in their wake. This progression keeps gamers like us engaged and on track to complete the storyline. As we do, we explore higher-level areas with greater chances of godly drops.

www.jnelsonadams.com I am a force of nature, You were created of this world, by this world, and for this world. Regardless of your backstory, you are here and have control over what that means. A power unlike that of which the world has ever seen Your gifts and the skills that you have practiced are a unique combination in you. You have curated your talents to serve yourself. By harnessing these abilities to serve the world around you, your purpose - the entire reason you are here - will be in absolute alignment with your gift. Whether that is constructing great masterpieces, or guiding others through their own quests, you are here on purpose and the world needs you to discover your storyline. Things do not happen for me, things happen because of me. You have absolute control over what ways you choose to interact with the world around you. Every action that you take is a choice, either continuing down the path of commonplace complacency or a venture into a new way of doing things. If you are unsatisfied with the rewards that the universe is providing you for your level of engagement with it, maybe it is time for a change. Here is a bit of peace: Things do not happen for or to you, Things happen because of you. My actions are defined by purpose and the results are of my creation. Now, by taking ownership of the world around you, it all belongs to you. When you know what your main quest is, that does not stop you from taking side quests. It guides you to take the side quests that align with your main storyline. This shift in the way you perceive gives you permission to pursue other things, discover new talents, and hone skills that you have neglected, all for the purpose of leveling up. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jonathan-nelson-adams/support
