No Matter How Long It Would Take — Show Up
Sometimes we get overwhelmed by how big the task is. We get overwhelmed with how we are going to fit a certain task into our existing routine. We keep on thinking about how we will distribute the time to accomplish it in the best way possible.
I remember my workout run the other night. It was a busy day. There were a lot of things I had to attend to and arrange outside my running. I got home late in the night around 11 pm.
Despite being late and tired. I showed up.
I started changing into my running outfit.
I started lacing up my running shoes.
I started walking to the place where I would train.
I started running.
Once I started running, I let go of my time and how long it would take me to finish it. No matter how many sleeps I would get that night, it doesn’t matter anymore.
I am ready to give it all.
I did that not because I wanted to suffer myself. I did that because I promised myself that I would accomplish it. I showed up.
Showing up regardless of the circumstances builds inner fortitude. It also gives you liberation. You become liberated from the things you need to do and not by a spike of emotion or product of external events.
Keep showing up.
May you reach your dreams.
