Show up...

Nothing happens if you don’t show up. But once you do, anything can happen.

 

Participation requires your attendance.

   Participation requires your active engagement.

       Participation requires your complete involvement.

            Because participation is always about being all in.

 

Our days are filled with opportunities – the challenge is to make the most of them. Some are easy: filled with stuff we’ve done before that we can do again. Some are ambiguous: not enough information makes it hard to get started correctly. Some are confusing: best to get clarification before starting. Some are ambitious – full of things that make you stretch. Some are hard – beyond our capabilities but filled with opportunities to grow. And some are crazy – look at those from every angle. But all require you to show up and give it a shot – being there, paying attention, working hard, asking questions, and staying flexible can not only get things done but also open doors for you. Once you show up, you’ll never know how far you can go unless you try. Think of all the things you’ve been involved in and how those have impacted your career. And what would have happened if you didn’t get fully involved in them. Don’t dismiss any of them without taking a good look. You, and only you, are responsible for showing up. Do that every chance you get today.
