I have realized that life sometimes works as a game. You are at your level and slowly progress. A clear example of this is in school as you progress through the various grades. There is a set path and criteria to easily track your progress.
This becomes more abstract as you progress in life, everyone is in their journey and there is no set path or criteria. Ultimately we decide that. However, if you choose not to progress and stay in the same situation you can. There is nothing wrong with this but it presents a unique personal responsibility to realize that until you overcome this unique circumstance in front of you, you can not progress to the next level.
There is no final level to reach, there is only more personal responsibility to take. When you look back at your life you realize what you are doing today, you could have never thought you could do it previously. I am fascinated by this concept and try to work on building my responsibility and accountability standards in my life.
