Show up – Don’t be missing in action. Be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. Life will not send out a search party. You are responsible for you. Life is not a dress rehearsal. Be ready to participate. Have your entire person show up – your body, your mind, your will, your attention. Most of us have experienced the frustration of having someone bodily present, but mentally absent. Don’t let that be you.
