Show Up

Tuesday, August 02, 2011


"To be successful in life, work, and relationships, you have to do one thing first—you have to show up. In other words, you have to be willing to show the world who you are and what you believe in. And you have to keep showing up in spite of the setbacks and the heartbreaks. The temptation to edit yourself and to hide will only leave you feeling dead inside. “One’s real life is so often the life one does not lead,” said Oscar Wilde. Yet the more authentic you are, the more true success you will enjoy and the more alive you will feel." From an article titled "I See You by Robert Holden

As I read this article which I have included the link I began to think of my personal journey with weight loss. I realize that there were plenty of times that I have not "showed up" to be successful. I have moments/periods where I do show up but I have been known to leave the scene during times of adversity, laziness, or any reason.
My thought for today is to "SHOW UP" for Myself

    Loved your blog. It is so easy to hide when things aren't going well. What a great reminder to always "show up" and that "showing up" is a key to success.

I think that's one of the biggest benefits I've had from IOWL. Forget the weight loss--it's learning to show up in my own life....

    Just how true this is of me. I'll think of the words "show up' when I'm looking for excuses. Thank you for sharing this.

    I really like this, thank you for sharing it!! I too have trouble with "showing up" I think it is sometimes because I do not always believe in me. I am working on that!
