Take it your profession, your studies, anything whatsoever that makes you do something. Something that is close to you, something that you wish to achieve. The most important thing in life is ..."Showing Up..."
Sounds simple but it is the one thing that can be the difference in landing that dream job or cleaning the streets the next day. I mean who says opportunity knocks again? No one. Opportunity never knocks twice...I mean the great quoter didn't say thrice or phrice [utp word invented] just twice. So opportunity only comes once and you have to be smart enough to avail it at the time or regret forever.
For example, its not only about literally being present for the dream job interview call, its more about being physically and mentally present there. Lots of times, since interviews and recruitments are a whole day affair, at least we tell our current bosses that, the late night preparations and the sleepless night and the early morning wake-up leads to the mental and social self-presence still in bed while the freshly groomed person is sitting the waiting room for the interview. That is what I am talking about. One has to SHOW UP in the full costume to have the best chance.
So I have decided to show up more often here. With a blog post here and there.
That's great, even though your blog-posts are shortened by the limitations imposed by your new blogging device. :D
ReplyDeleteSo, if I understand correctly, you realized that in order to have readers you need to write something for them to read?
ReplyDeleteJoke, joke, ;-) , I am happy that your posts will come back - I always enjoy reading them.
The most imp thing in life is to *show up* and to *show up* means *u need to blog more often* so that means the most imp thing in life is to *blog more often*..hmmm.... :P
