Showing Up

     ½ of this life is just showing up.  You can turn anything in life into something if you just keep showing up.  Eventually you’ll get where you’re going or accomplish what you want to accomplish.    You just got to be willing to keep showing up.  No matter how simple or complicated something may seem, keep showing up.  We must be willing to take that roll of the dice and be willing to lose.  But show up again.  And again.  And again.  Prepare for none of what you are doing to work at the end of the day.  But show up tomorrow and try again.  You will never fail as long as you don’t quit.  Keep showing up, be patient, takes the small steps, set a smaller goal, whatever it may be just keep moving toward the big goal.  Granted sometimes you have to go South to go North, but that’s the journey, that’s where you really find your worth, yourself.  That’s the type of person people want to be around.

     There has to be this thing that is inside of us that helps to make the sweat, blood, pain, tears, all ok.  It allows us to continue to show up and work day after day toward our goal while expecting nothing in return.  Problems will arise daily, big, small it doesn’t matter, but when they do that’s the opportunity to show up again and do your best.  Be the person you wish you were, be the person you hoped to be.  It’s possible.  It’s not easy but it’s possible. 

     It takes you being willing to pour 100% of yourself in.  Not 110% or 150%.  Those are myths when it comes to effort.  There are plenty of people that we hear constantly say they give 110%, not possible.  It appears possible but it isn’t.  Too many people give 80, 75, 90% consistently and all of a sudden their perspective gets schewed as to what 100% is.  So on those days where they finally put in an honest 100% it appears to them and others that they just gave 120%.  People want the easy way.  People would rather be comfortable; everyone is scared of the hard way, because it is just that, it’s hard.  Though it will be a struggle, we’ll come out on the other side that much better, that much more able to handle a stressful situation because we’ve been through the ringer and are still standing.  And probably standing a lot taller.

     Most of us get stuck behind a computer sitting in this modern life.  But that isn’t life.  We’re animals.  We we’re built to move.  We should run, jump, climb, lift, throw and dance.  I’ll leave you with this, exercise is single handedly the most potent defense against life’s internal struggles…stress, anxiety, depression, obesity, you name it, those are just a few, this list could go on for an entire page.  We have the power to make the changes, no more excuses, now is the time.  Find those 30 mins in your day and get moving, trust me, your days will feel that much easier.
