Showing up the right way

Yes, showing up is one of the most important things…

…but we need to show up right:

1) With respect: Not everyone “deserves it.” But it always says more about us than the other person when we don’t show up with it.

2) As we want things to be: Not everyone makes our day better for being in it. We can be the one that does.

3) Be glad you did: I’ve never been glad of being angry, or disgruntled, or losing my cool. We should make our future-selves proud.

We don’t always want to show up.

But when we do, let’s show up the right way.

We owe it to those we want to help.
