Showing Up: How Commitment to Others Becomes Commitment to Yourself
A few months ago, I started going to the gym. I didn’t start because I had a big fitness goal. I didn’t start because I had some grand plan to transform my body. I started because my homeboy Dylan invited me.
At first, it was just about showing up for him. But what I didn’t expect was that in the process of showing up for him, I was actually learning to show up for myself.
How often do we commit to something for someone else, only to realize later that it was exactly what we needed, too?
When Dylan first asked me to hit the gym, I said bet, I’m in. But the first day I was supposed to go, I ran over on time and had to cancel.
I didn’t think much of it… until later.
