Look where you go, and Go where you look.

"Look where you go, and Go where you look"

Hillary Biscay

It's pretty simple, isn't it?! Look where you go. Go where you look. However, it seems to be that we have a hard time doing so. 

A friend of mine posted this video on MindBodyGreen. Hillary Biscay, The Ironman and Ultraman World champion talks about "How to believe in yourself when no one else does". Her determination and persistence  to get where she wants to go are incredible. I love how she said it, "It might take a long time, but if you keep showing up when everybody else stops, you will get there". She admits herself for being a late bloomer, and that it took almost twice as long to get there compare to others. But the point is she got there. She was determined. She showed up every steps of the way. And she didn't give up when things didn't turn out the way she wanted them to be. She didn't stop showing up when other people stopped. She kept going and going. That's what led her. Her determination and faith for herself. She looked where she wants to go, and she went where she looked. 

Everybody is unique in their own way. And yet, it seems like everybody wants the same thing, or the same job, or the same goal in their life. For example, when you go for a job interview, you see other people waiting for their appointment for the interview. They dressed up just like you, or even better. They seem like more qualified than you. They seem more confident than you. They seem more comfortable than you. they seem more eager than you. They seem more experienced than you.... so they seem. But guess what they are looking at you in that way too. It's just the ideas and fear that's inside you are preventing you to see things clearly. Nobody is better than anybody. The moment they call you in, you just have to show up. You are gonna have to be you, and do what you do, and be in the moment. That's all you can do. And if it doesn't work out for you, there'll always be something better waiting for you. There's always something for someone. Maybe the job wasn't meant to be yours. Maybe it was for the person sitting next to you. It doesn't mean you are any less than that person. Or the other way around. You just gonna have to show up to anything that you can. That's all you can do. Stop comparing yourself to other people.You are who you are and that's more than enough. 

Remember, things don't always happen in your timeline. But as long as you keep showing up and being prepared for what you are going for, your time will come. There's no easy way or fast way. Keep walking every step of the way. You've heard this before, the amateur players practice till they make a shot, the professionals practice till they don't miss. Do your work. Be persistence. Keep looking where you go. And then you'll get there. It's hard because we want things to happen when we want it to happen. That's our ego. Don't let our ego ruin the best of us. Be humble. Be grateful. Be happy. 

Love,
