I don\u2019t just cringe, it makes me physically react&#8230;it\u2019s a verbal weenie shrinker. Showing up is NOT half the battle. Showing up is a minimum requirement of existence, we\u2019re already here, we\u2019ve already shown up.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once we show up, that\u2019s when the battle begins. Whether we\u2019re discussing relationships, work, sports, Candy Crush, or masturbation&#8230;you have to put work into getting the results you want. Simply showing up and staring at your partner, your office, your running shoes, your iPad, or your privates will not spur them into giving you the reaction you\u2019re looking for.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you show up, see what needs to be done, and do it better than anyone else could. Work your ass off to get what you want and to be missed if you\u2019re gone. Push yourself to be the person you can be, not the person you are. <\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you ever hear anyone say, \u2018Showing up is half the battle,\u2019 &#8211; smack them in the face or kick them in the crotch, and tell them they couldn\u2019t be more wrong.<\/span>]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":751,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[250,607,738],"class_list":["post-750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pr-marketing-rambling-blog","tag-effort","tag-showing-up","tag-work"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/40hourweek.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
