Whether it’s at your job, in your car, in your intentions, in your interactions… show up. In your own head wholly and full-heartedly… SHOW UP.

Leave the distractions at bay. Leave your ego at the door. And leave your expectations alone. Use that newly liberated headspace to JUST. SHOW. UP.

Use it to devote 100% of your attention to being you. To doing the right thing. To grounding yourself in what is true and real. To bridging that gap between “could be” and “will be.” Disengage from the games. Because games are meant to be played for fun… but we have turned our whole existence into a game. We use games and ploys to create a buffer, serving as a convenient obstacle to doing the work and to making happiness happen. And this game we play, we play it to win. We create a paralyzing paradox in which we play to win not realizing that this pseudo engagement inevitably puts us on a losing streak. We play at the cost of true fulfillment. At the expense of authenticity. In the end, we all want to be wanted.


We all want to be relevant.

So show up. If they called you last time, pick up the phone. If your neighbor needs something extra today, show up with it. If a person gives you a piece of themselves, have respect and be present to receive it.

Skip the games. Use that energy to show up. Use that energy to fill your cup, so much so that it overflows to fill the cup of another. And if you don’t connect with this idea of showing up, chat with me about it.
