The Next Level concept



*"The Next Level Concept" Philippians 3:12-14*
Nowhere in the bible is *"the next level concept"* so nicely articulated than in the passage quoted above. Our fears, anxieties, doubts and false comforts are responsible for the sum procrastinations which are in turn responsible for our life stagnation. To get to the next level starts from simply being able to tune up our focus to a higher goal and tune up our intentionality to specified action lines. This brings into play our brain cortex (active and conscious part of our brain responsible for handling new action) and upset the autopilot part of our brains (that part of the brain driving day to day monotonous habits in our life). Breaking new ground involves taking charge of our daily moment by moment decisions and becoming intentional in converting them to real result oriented actions. Individuals, institutions and society at large play on a gross deficit of progressive intentionality.  Self discovery, a deep knowledge of God's nature and agenda for mankind and the overall socio-spiritual development are derailed through a general mental complacency. Yes, we can do very little about our emotions and involuntary reactions to various stimuli but we can do something about our decisions, plans and actions. Being intentional about the later will have a very positive effect on our emotions and interpretation of other phenomenon. Good is not good enough if it can be made better and better is not good enough if it can be transformed to best. Basically our prayer ought to be progress oriented to ensure the next level of glory.
