Reasons for you to show-up!

Life is interesting. Work is challenging. Overcoming obstacles, facing rejection, being open to vulnerabilities, chartering in unknown territories… we all need a story to move forward… A reason to show-up tomorrow.

And the quality of the reason determines the quality of the work you do.

I tried to think of few most common reasons to show up. This is not a complete list, but simply a quick reflection.

• To be a better version of yourself
• To pursue a dream larger than you
• To pursue someone’s dream
• To avoid shame — so that you are not seen as a loser!
• To compete
• To solve a problem
• To be famous
• To be generous with your skills/gifts
• To satisfy your creative itch
• To earn living
• To respond to peer/family pressure
• To take revenge
• To stay busy
• To change the world

Some of them leave you exhausted and worn-out, some create an environment of hope, possibility and joy.
