Show Up and Be Ready

Some people always show up on time, ready to go. My friend is such a person. Whenever we are planning to meet, she would say things like- "I will be there with bells on!" She also makes witty comments about how just showing up will put you there in life.

I am the kind of person who is usually late. I live in the moment and enjoy it so much that I forget about the my next destination. Lately, though, I have been changed my perspective on this matter.

This is partly due to the fact that I am a working mom, and I have found that preparation and the ability to be on time is critical to the entire operation of my household and work. However, I have also come to the conclusion that it is even more critical to show up and be ready for life!

It is far too easy to go on with our busy lives armed with a routine and routine expectations. Sometimes it is the loss of someone we love or a major life episode that reminds us to truly live. Free our emotions, remember the forgotten dreams, be open to what the universe is sending our way... So be present in your life and be ready.
