Steven Spielberg’s story was another true depiction of it. When he was asked if he wanted the internship job at Universal, he said yes and showed up. When he was told by Universal executives that they would only consider 16mm, he did 1 production over the weekend and showed up. Though he was asked to return with a 36mm, he did as he promised and showed up again. [...] […] I remembered first reading about Showing Up in one of Steve Pavlina’s article.

Basada en una frase de Woody Allen que dice que el 80% del éxito de lo que hacemos se basa en “actuar como”. actúa como si fueras una persona eficiente y te convertirás en una persona eficiente. actúa como si supieras dibujar y poco a poco te irás convirtiendo en dibujante. Una versión más antigua de esta idea decía que cuando no sintieras algo actuaras como si lo sintieras hasta llegar a sentirlo realmente. Bueno, espero no haberte liado más de la cuenta.

I am setting as my goal less than the month before. Which I am already doing, but I figure it will get harder as I go on. I checked myself on 11-1 and weighed in at a whopping: 248.5 . It is a little scary cause I don’t seem like a 250 lb person. However seeing my dad over the holiday and his gut, I am realizing that the only person that can fix it is me. I weighed in on the 26th and I was at 247.5. So I figured as long as I am below 247.5 by 1-1, I should have accomplished my goal for December. I read the showing up article by Steve. (his is a good site btw. lots of good articles) I am going to try and just show up at the gym. So that means making sure that I have a packed workout back before I go to sleep in the morning. I am also hoping that I get some more snowboarding in since that was quite a workout. Hopefully with less falling in the future. My other goal is 1500 sit ups on my little exercise ball by my next birthday. Conveniently, my birthday is in the middle of the year. Figure there is 365 days that means that half that is 182.5 so I just need to do 15 sit ups / crunches / whatevers a day and I should reach my goal. that gives me 30 days off or 5 days a month until June. Figure I take a break on Sundays and it all pans out. hopefully I can reach my goal. I already am at 15. [...] […] I am checking my weight again. I am setting as my goal less than the month before.
