showing up or SHOWING UP

Are you going to show up today?  This is a question we each have to answer every day. Showing up is the first step to success.  You can stay in bed or you can get up and get out into the world.  But once you get out what are you going to do to contribute to the world. Are you going to just show up or SHOW UP with everything you have? There are two options when you show up, be there in body, or be there with all of who you are.

I have worked with a lot of people who have just shown up.  I have observed them in church, I have seen them at practice on the ball fields, I have noticed them out in restaurants.  I have been one.  The difference between showing up and SHOWING UP is evident to everyone around us, an obvious trait.  The penalty of just showing up is missing out on life, missing out on the contribution we can make and receive in life.  That is a big deal.

We each are created in the image of God and have something to bring, to add, to contribute.  When we don't we cheat ourselves and others. When we SHOW UP and engage life happens.  SHOW UP and change the world, we need you and you need we!
