The Importance of Showing Up: Insights from Psychic Shira

Bright Greetings.

Welcome to my new and returning readers. It is a joy connecting with you. Thank you for liking, sharing, and subscribing. I hope that my articles empower, encourage, and inspire you to be your best, authentic self. If you would like a session with me, I can be reached at extension 1093.

Today's topic from Spirit is accountability and the importance of showing up for yourself and others in your life. Have you ever had that one friend that would commit to going out or meeting up, and they never showed or called? Or they sent you a text message long after the fact? That is frustrating, to say the least. You and I make decisions on an emotional basis.

1. It furthers your life or career.

2. You want to look like a strong and positive community member.

3. You are doing so out of obligation, fear, or being pressed to do so.

4. You feel that if you give, you will get back.

Your motivation matters if you want to have a positive reputation rather than being flaky. In my thirties, I was engaged to be married to a hard-working fiance. He was highly responsible and reliable in his career. When they called to see if he was available, he would drop what he was doing and run to the money.

I supported my kids and myself, as the money was not comingled. We would make plans to go out to dinner, and if work called, he would call me at the restaurant and say that he would not come. My parents would make plans for us, and at the last moment, he would say he was not going. This became such an issue that my family stopped inviting him! I would not let him promise or commit to anything with my kids, for it was not fair to them.

Our engagement ended amicably, and we wished each other well. When you are asked to commit to something or someone, please think about what you are really walking into.

Look at your emotions: Why are you doing it? What is your motivation? If you are not 100 percent when you make the promise, don't make it. Say thank you, and if you want to be considered for another time, let them know. If you know that it is not for you, please don't waste anyone's time or energy. BE HONEST. (While I appreciate you thinking of me, this is not something I wish to pursue)

When you make and bail on a commitment, several things are occurring:

1. You are not showing up for yourself.

2. You are not showing up for the people that love, care, or respect you.

3. You are destroying your credibility (which bleeds into your career and personal reputation).

4. It is much easier to flake out with each false commitment.

5. You begin to justify and procrastinate in all areas of your life.

6. You lose focus.

7. You lose friends.

8. When you need support, it is not there—your word matters. If you fail to follow through, that is on you.

Please make and keep your promises so you can lead the happiest, fullest, most joyful, and fulfilling life. So you can know real success in both the personal and professional realms. Being a person of your word will bring forth resources and blessings you cannot begin to imagine. When the need arises, as a person of your word, it is already in place, waiting for you to access it.

I love you, and I believe in you.

In Divine Truth and Love,
