Do your show up when the process isn’t sexy ?
 
 
 
 I'm going to admit something that I don't think many people admit enough in public: 
 
 I'm feeling flat.
 
 Here's the crazy part: 
 - I have great purpose
 - I've got clear direction
 - I have a great family
 - I do lots for myself
 
 So, I've been digging into my mind to figure out what on earth is going on.
 
 Here's my conclusion: day-to-day life is mainly grey, bland, and unsexy. Doing the work required to be successful and fulfilled can be, well, slightly dull at times.
 
 But it's necessary to achieve what I call your highlight reels. These are the wins, breakthroughs, milestones, and goals achieved.
 
 Here's the problem: many people who feel flat from the process often quit, forget their mission, and lose connection. This causes them to never reach their desired outcome.
 
 The hardest part of being successful is realising that the process is not always sexy, but showing up regardless.
 
 Otherwise, nothing is ever achieved, and you end up with an unsexy process and no fulfillment.
 
 To summarise, personal and professional development is a journey. 
 
 There will be times when you feel up, but also times when you feel down. 
 
 It's how you show up when you're down that will determine your fate.
