I love the line "Inspiration is like a flaky friend who borrows money and never texts back." If you have to wait for inspiration to get to work, you'll end up alone and broke.
Simply showing up for consistency's sake adds a new layer to the old proverb "we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit."
Maybe we should stop belittling the minimally-viable days as wasted effort. Instead, we should celebrate them for making us available for the maximum-effort days to come.
I’ve instilled this philosophy this past year! 50% effort is better than not showing up! And in most cases, those 50% days seemed to be my best days, because the effort increases as I get into it! Nice post!
Such a great reminder! Showing up is about 80% of it… and it’s helpful to remove the pressure to be at your best each and every time. More often than not, a little something is better than a whole lot of nothing!

I've seen too many people hurt on the job that didn't follow safety protocols or wear their PPE as instructed. One young person needed to have plastic surgery for 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his face. All he had to do to prevent that was wear the face shield provided.
I found it next to his lunch pail.
I still get tears in my eyes when I recall what he looked like when the EMT's loaded him up while he screamed in pain.
If i can't be there 100% I don't need to be there.
This is also great parenting advice. My third grandchild was born this morning. I missed it because I had a noro virus. My daughter and I struggle with each other and it’s often hard. But I’m in her yard now, in the sun on a crazily warm January day, waiting for them to come home from the birth center. Showing up! Here’s to showing up. Even when your performance is mediocre.
Do not act when you feel ready.
Act when it is right.
Character is forged on the days when will is absent.

I agree! Showing up is better than perfection.

Yes I like alll of this! Peace to all today 😌🤘🏾
Show up especially when it’s hard.
Yes, lasting progress is built by minimum sustainable effort.
High standards matter, but the system survives on low-friction defaults when your mood clocks off.

we often kill a new venture by demanding it be perfect from day one. "allowing mediocrity" is the only way to survive the beginning.
I am starting a new chapter myself, and i am reminding myself that a sloppy rep is better than no rep. volume comes before quality.
just keep the IV drip running👏🏼
I feel like people gt consistent with those work which they really passionate about

Sorry, just saying.
