On Showing Up

Runners Secrets

Showing up says
That I can move beyond 
My like and dislike
my fear or distrust

…That I can acknowledge my emotions
Yet not give up responsibility towards outcomes

Showing up says
That my determination wins over my reluctance
And my optimism wins over the circumstance

Showing up when every excuse not to
would work equally well
Says that I am in control
that I can let go of short term pain
For something more important
..with an eye on the longer run

Showing up means
I will accomplish more
Than in the alternative scenario
Simply because I have put one foot
In front of the other
Till I showed up

    Showing up means
    I will accomplish more
    Than in the alternative scenario
    Simply because I have put one foot
    In front of the other
    Till I showed up.
