The art of showing up…

“Wherever you are, be all there.” ~ Jim Eliott (Missionary, Minister, Martyr)

With all my heart, I’d like to ask you to “show up” today. Not just with your body, but with your heart. The world has far too many people living as if they’re not really present. Too many dads, moms, kids and workers will “clock-in” today physically, but the rest of them will be somewhere else. It will happen in houses, workplaces and churches all around the world today. Please make sure yours isn’t one of them. You’re better than that, made for more than that.

It’s time to stop the pattern of co-existing in the same room with others from whom we withhold quality time, our best ideas and unique giftings.

On behalf of Heaven and those on Earth who need your best today I’m begging you to step out from the crowd and make a difference.

Live on purpose.

Show up.

Be present.

Give your best.

Be all here today.

Make an impact.

Will you?

    Someone gave me this advice a few years ago and I was amazed at what a difference it made in my life and in the lives of those around me.

    My Graandfather told me once that if someone pays you $5, then give them $10 worth of work.
    I try to apply that not only to quantity but quality of work as well.

    It’s hard to settle for mediocrity once you’ve tasted excellence…

    Great post Scott 8^)

      Your Grandfather was a wise man, indeed!
