I'm not the smartest person, but I was able to earn good grades during school because I read a lot as a child and I consistently "showed up"--doing my homework well, even finding joy in learning. I was able to earn a respectable GPA in college because I kept showing up. I've been blessed to find good employment because I kept showing up.
