This morning I woke up with lots of anxiety. I felt so hopeless and lost, as if I was the only person in the world with no talents or skills. I didn't even want to go to work, but somehow I managed to motivate myself to just go because 99 percent success is just showing up.
When I took my break this afternoon at work I sat at the piano and quietly played some classical and contemporary music.One of my co-workers heard me as she walked by and yelled out "I'm impressed, keep playing and don't shy away." She came over to the electronic piano and put the volume up so that I could be heard. I was a bit embarrassed but to my surprise others gathered near the piano and listened to me and encouraged me to keep playing.
Sometimes when we're in the dumps and feel worthless all it takes is one person to make a difference. I'm forever grateful to "BIZ" my co-worker who also plays the piano for giving me some recognition this afternoon in front of other people especially since I started the day feeling so discouraged with myself.
It's true, 99% of success is just showing up because you never know what's waiting for you. So just show up!
