The importance of showing up

Gradual small improvements tend to outlast rapid sweeping changes. Tending a plant on a daily basis is more effective than irregularly spending large amounts of time and resources on it.
The total improvement is greater than the sum of the individual improvements because of the time in between each engagement, just like music is defined by the space between the sounds. Finding a rhythm makes our efforts count for more than if we performed them haphazardly.
It can be tempting to skip a session, but just by showing up, even if the result of the session is not impressive in itself, over time we earn compound interest on our efforts.
So next time you are tempted to skip it, just remember: all you have to do is show up. The rest will take care of itself
