Just keep showing up

Life is full of letdowns. Unfortunately, that’s just the way it is, and there isn’t always anything we can do about it. Sometimes it feels like no matter how much effort or “try” we put into something, it just doesn’t matter. Sometimes life makes a joke out of our misery. And sometimes it’s just plain ol’ not fair.

But it goes on anyway.

The most important thing to remember during those tribulations is this: get back up and “keep on keepin’ on.” Whether you stand tall, dust yourself off, and keep smiling, or you let the weight pull you into a dark place. Life goes on all the same.

So we have a choice to make.

We get to decide the attitude we carry moving forward. Bitterness won’t take us far. Maybe things happened for a reason… maybe life completely ripped you off...again. We don’t know all the answers. We can’t control everything. And we can’t change what already is.

What we can do is stay positive. Treat others the way we’d like to be treated. Go above and beyond anyway. Negativity won’t help, that much I’m sure of after my 37 years on this earth.

So brush yourself off. Get back up. And keep going, with a smile on your face. Make them wonder. Don’t waste precious time holding grudges or carrying a bad attitude.

Believe in karma - the good kind. And keep showing up the best way you know how.
