Show Up

There are times when the happenings of life

tempt us to want to 

fade away

check out

just not care

apathy

fatigue

hopelessness

feeling overwhelmed

like effort is in vain

Just wanting to check-out

and when I say, "check-out"
I am not talking suicide

I mean resorting to just existing

existing

floating

just being

DRAINED

Sapped of energy or motivation

Apathetic

checking out mentally and emotionally

because of the multitude of waves

because of the time it's taking

because of the constant winds

because of low visibility

because of clothes drenched from rain...

But I dare you

I challenge you

I beg you

DON'T  GIVE  UP

Go to bed

and get up again

SLEEP

and then rise again

plan again

REST

and then dream again

NAP

and then go again

PAUSE

and then press play again

SHOW UP

Show up in your own life

and KEEP SHOWING UP

Your life

needs you 

You need you

The world needs you

the fulfillment of your purpose requires you

to keep SHOWING UP
