I was reading this column my friend posted today.
It was about showing up.
You'll never know what the outcome will be unless you show up. If you don't, well, you should know that you're not gonna get anywhere. And when you show up and give your 100%, let's just forget and move on to the next. And the rest!?!? The universe will take care of it.
Sometimes, I would actually say MOST of tha time, the result you want won't happen right away. It will take time. But if you keep showing up, you'll have more chance of getting where you wanna be.
I'm in no position to say "just keep working hard and you'll get there." Or "believe in your dream, believe in yourself, and know that you're gonna get there." You've heard millions of those by now. And I'm still in a process of going somewhere. I got stuck in the weird funk for a long time that I'm barely getting out. I'm nowhere near where I wanna be or should be. And sometimes, it feels like the time is running out. I have to keep reminding myself that IT'S NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE.
All the self-improvement books and quotes say the right things. If you apply something and it works for you, Great. If it doesn't, try another one. Or make up a new one!! It doesn't matter. As long as you show up in your life, that's what matters. And you can't just show up half way. You gotta go show up 100% or 120%!!!. That's all you can do. That's all I can do. I really hope that the rest is also up to me. How I wish that's how it is.
But, I'll show up. As long as I'm alive and pursuing my career, I will show up. Because I'd like the possibility to be 1, rather than zero. Even if there're 99 reasons for them to say no, I will refuse to let them say I didn't get it because I didn't show up. It may take you to the place you weren't expected. It may take you farther than you've imagined. As long as you show up, there's that 1% chance that someone might see what you got and who you are.
Will you take that chance???
I will. I'll keep showing up. Because that's all I can do.
Love,
