Late Starts and Progress

It isn’t ever to late to start. Things happen, and mistakes made. As human beings nothing is perfect and bad things that ruin your schedule are unavoidable. Just like when things were good everything fell into place, bad things can pop up and ruin your day. It is easy then, to throw in the towel, and assume that the work will happen tomorrow.

When I make this promise to myself, I rarely calculate the next days work, and soon I fall behind.Time is a finite resource, and it is something we can’t get back. My default behavior is to ignore this and push things off to later. What I have noticed though, when I do something else, positive things happen.

When I change that behavior from pushing it off to showing up anyway, good things happen. Some get stuck in the past, but by showing up, you are still moving forward.

That is all you can do,show up. Even after everything started without you – show up.

You don’t show up for anyone else benefit – you show up for your own. The work has to get done, regardless of what happened before hand.  It’s about progress – nothing else.
