My last blog brings up a larger, more important issue. Yes, one should always be punctual in life, but more importantly, you have to show up for life. Do you know anyone who always talks about the things they’re going to do, what or who they want to be one day, but never actually accomplishes these things? How about someone who you invite to events or to hang out and their response is something like “oh, yeah, uh, I’ll get back to you on that. I might be able to go, I’m not sure” and then they never show? We ALL know someone like this, and you know what I have to say to those of you out there (I bet one or two of my readers is this way – but not you, right??) is show up for life.
In order to achieve the success you talk and dream about so much, you must be present. This means attending those events you’ve replied “maybe” to, network, be reliable. The people in my life that I can call when I need something and that I can count on, are those people who show up for life. It’s difficult to find people to trust with a task and know that he or she will follow through to make sure it is done well. And, while those people are difficult to find in the world, I seek them out, keep them close, and let them know that I will show up for them too.
So if you think you may be one of the people I’m talking about, have no fear. You can start acting now, start doing now. Just as I made a guarantee to you in my last post, I will offer the same here. If you begin showing up for life and following through on all the plans you’ve pushed to the side in the past, I guarantee that you will start seeing positive returns quickly.
