"Show Up Every Day" Totally Applies to You

Sometimes I think people assume the “show up every day” advice doesn’t apply to their goal.

So your dream is to get married? 

You can't complain about not having a boyfriend or girlfriend when you've only met 2 new people in the last 6 months (and one of them was your friend's Grandma...).

Go out and meet 100 new people every week. In-person or online, it doesn’t matter. Decide to say yes to every single social invitation you receive for the next year.

Go to online Zoom speed dating events every night of the week for three months. Ask your friend to set you up on a blind date. Ask the cute barista “if he knows anyone single”. Introduce yourself to the check-out chick.

In order to meet the love of your life, you have to actually give yourself a chance to meet them.

Show up to meet the love of your life, every single day.

Or maybe your dream is to be the Editor of Vogue 

How many articles have you sent to vogue contributors this week? How many local magazines have you offered to intern for free at this year?

Buy every issue of vogue from the past year and make a list of 50 people who have written featured articles. Email one person each day. Ask how they got their break. Ask how you can help them. Ask them to introduce you to someone.

Show up for your dream, every single day, no matter what it is.

This is the magic pill.
