I came across a quote online noong isang araw na tunay na tumama sa akin at isa na sa tingin ko ay sulit na ibahagi sa iyo..
The quote was..
Sometimes, the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must but TAKE THE STEP.
– Unknown
Kapag naiisip ko ang tungkol sa quote na ito, I think back on that one time I was on a special meeting with a few of our team members..
We talked about our goals and how sometimes it can be overwhelming meeting those goals that we underestimate what we’re capable of achieving.
Naalala ko ang isang miyembro namin who came out and shared his thoughts on this topic.. He talked about what he feels is the most important factor when achieving anything in life..
..and that is making a commitment to yourself to SHOW UP every day.
He continues on to saying that all the roadblocks he personally encountered along the way had figured itself out once he showed up every day without fail with the intention of doing his best.
Kapag naiisip ko ito, this holds so much truth..
Firstly, I truly believe that big things can happen if you just start showing up. We, as a society, think that in order to make a difference, we have to make all of these huge sacrifices and big changes in order to do so. Although it is important to take calculated risks when going after what you want, it’s not all entirely the case.
Upang makagawa ng malalaking pagbabago sa iyong buhay, you need to start by SHOWING UP every single day, even when it’s hard. Dahil kapag ginawa mo iyon with the intention of doing your best, change will inevitably happen.
Noong sinimulan ko ang aking entrepreneurial journey, yes I was overwhelmed and I was nervous.. Dahil wala akong karanasan sa online marketing whatsoever, I underestimated what I was capable of doing.
Ngunit alam ko na this was the direction I wanted to take, and I would do anything in my ability to make it happen for myself.
So I started showing up everyday..
Bukas ang aking isipan, willing to learn, ready to take on challenges and learn new skill sets. Alam kong hindi ito magiging madali, but I was committed to showing up with the intention of doing my best because that was the only way I saw myself progressing.
I also focused on my journey and my journey alone. Hindi ko ikinukumpara ang aking pag-unlad sa iba, if people were ahead of me in terms of learning things that I didn’t know much about, I wouldn’t beat myself down for it.
Alam ko na ang bawat isa ay may iba’t ibang paglalakbay, we’re all going to go through roadblocks, we’re all going to make mistakes along the way, some may overcome it quicker than others, ngunit sa pagtatapos ng araw, it’s our individual journey and if we just make that commitment to ourselves to always show up, you will ultimately figure things out.
Throughout this process, napagtanto ko that having that way of thinking could really change all aspects of my life, from my personal life to my professional life, from my relationships to my health and wellbeing.
So, I started applying this mentality to most aspects of my life.
I’d show up to the gym most days of the week, even if I didn’t always feel like it.
I’d show up more in my relationships by reaching out to my parents more who live in Pangasinan and spending more quality time with my wife doing date nights each week.
I’d show up more in my work, by making a commitment to learn something new every day that would help me progress further towards my goals.
I made that commitment to show up every day in these aspects of my life, as I know that over time, I’d ultimately be making a positive difference in my life.
Ang mensahe ko dito ngayon is that when you truly understand the power of just showing up and the power of never giving up, malalaman mo ang tunay na kahulugan ng tagumpay.
Change and growth require you to start somewhere and grow from there.
It’s one thing to make a huge leap and another to accept that each leap is a steppingstone that will take you closer and closer to your end goal. Hope you found my message in this article valuable and that it encourages you to show up every day, do your best and never give up.
