Showing Up

There is some wise saying that i cant quite get right and require the use of the google in order to quote correctly. Basically it amounts to the fact that the least a person can do is to show up. There are so many times in our lives that we allow fear or discomfort to take over. It is always better to face something than let it linger.

It is any approach that i am quite familiar with as i find my passive nature overtaking my better senses. Usually what we fear facing is a lot greater in imagination than in practice. If there is one thing i have learned is that "Obstacles are smaller than they appear."

This does not mean that "showing up" will automatically solve the problem. You have to put in work once you get there. That bully may be surprised you showed up,but, you gotta swing and block to win the fight in the end.

I had a court date for traffic violation the other day. I showed up and the cop didnt. I am sure the judge would have gone with his word had he shown his face; all he had was mine, case dismissed.
