Showing Up for Life

If you show up for yourself in your life, the universe will show up for you.

The way we walk into a room says a lot about the way we live our lives. When we walk into a room curious about what’s happening, willing to engage, and seeing ourselves as an active participant with something to offer, then we have shown up to the party. When we walk into a room with our eyes down or nervously smiling, we are holding ourselves back for one reason or another. We may be hurting inside and in need of healing, or we may lack the confidence required to be present in the room. Still, just noticing that we’re not really showing up can give us the inspiration we need to change.

Even if we are suffering, we can show up to an experience ready to engage in it and learn what it has to offer. In fact, through our engagement and being present, we might find a solution to what is causing the stress and discomfort. When we take that first step and participate, we can begin the process of seeking out those who can help us heal. We can’t move forward if we don’t walk fully into our life. When we do this kind of work — even when it’s tough, we become more confident and passionate individuals.

There is almost nothing better in the world than the feeling of showing up for ourselves. When we can do this, we become people who are more alive with the ability to make things happen in our lives and the lives of the people around us. We walk through the world with the knowledge that we have a lot to offer and the desire to share it.
