Sometimes you just have to show up

Sometimes it’s enough to simply show up. We often get it in our heads that nothing short of perfection is required. That “anything worth doing is worth doing right”.  It is generally true, and I find that I often hesitate to start something I know won’t turn out well. That impulse has saved me more often than it’s hurt me. But the truth is sometimes, all you need to do is punch the clock. Just show up. Maybe something brilliant will happen, may not, but if you don’t show up, nothing will happen.

I have a friend that will show up to just about anything. She’s gotten herself into trouble occasionally, but nothing serious. And her stories are much better than mine.

So get out there tiger. Go show up at something. (note: make sure you are invited)
