Go to work, show up

Every day you show up, something happens.

Sometimes that “something” is external. We earn accolades, money, validation.

Those are nice and necessary. Helping someone or making something happen feels good.

However, the external isn’t permanent. If that were it, then showing up wouldn’t be nearly as important as it is.

Something happens to our brains when we “do.” The change that happens is internal. We earn a little more know-how, form habits, and understand the language of what we do.

We take those things with us.They make up our foundation. The starting block for our taste.

There is always a prize for showing up.

Recognize, however, that no one else may see that prize.

Then show up anyway.
