How you show up has everything to do with your identified intention. If you have no intention, you risk being easily influenced or swayed by others. So, how do you want to show up in life - how do you choose to show up in life? You'll need to intentionally think about this to develop a picture - and don't be afraid to start with a partial picture and fill it in as time goes on. And, over time, your picture may change - which is alright. The point is that you have the intention and you have a picture of how you want to show up in your life. Once you figure this out, it is about consistency and continuous growth, accompanied by incremental improvement.
In the movie the Field of Dreams, there's a saying that 'If you build it they will come.' This is the idea of having intention and a vision, showing up, and taking specific action to realize your intention. How we show up is about every aspect of our lives. Can we show up and keep the commitments to ourselves about how we want to live. When we fall short, can we give ourselves forgiveness and grace to start over? Can we show up for others and take care of our responsibilities and commitments? The choice is ours, we choose how we will show up to our lives, and if we stick to it we can build upon our incremental success of leading the quality lives we want to lead.
So, let's be intentional! Let's have a mental picture of how we want to show up and let's stick to it! Let's not be swayed by the distractions that are not in line with the lives we want to lead. Show up for you - It will make a world of difference!
