Woody Allen once said " 90% of Success is showing up." This is simple but in a certain way it is true.
Anyone can pull off something great once or twice, but it takes showing up everyday to get the continuous results. This often means that for the first while of showing up everyday your results might stink. I know I have experienced times when what I was doing seemed pathetic, but I loved it so I showed up each day and without warning or fanfare I was suddenly "good" at it.
I have never heard yet of anyone who became successful in their chosen field who said " eh, it just happened. I didn't practice or work at getting better or try to learn something, it just happened and here I am a great success."
It just does not work that way. Success is showing up every day, delivering something even if it stinks, and working at getting better, learning and growing.
Then it just happens.
