Good morning from close friends Brett Hobbs and Michael Barone. We are here every Monday morning to help prepare you Before The Chaos!

The art of showing up.

Showing up isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. It’s choosing to participate in your own life even when circumstances aren’t ideal, you’re not feeling motivated, or things aren’t fully figured out.

Keep small promises to yourself and show up everyday, even if it’s hard.

Reflection

“In what areas of my life do I consistently abandon myself?”

“When do I feel most proud of myself?”

Take Action Task

Prioritize health today. Whether it’s working out or choosing a healthy meal.

Act of Altruism

Help a stranger with something small — opening a door, paying for a coffee, giving a compliment.

VERSE

Galatians 6:9

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up”.

Closing

Showing up is an act of courage, of faith, and of love — for yourself and for the people connected to you. And the beautiful thing is: every time you show up, even imperfectly, you build a better life. So keep showing up. Your future depends on it, and you’re more capable than you think.
