Life is hard. School is hard. Work is hard. Owning a business is hard. Relationships are hard. That's just the way it is.  So often we search for the easy answer, the quick fix, the magic pill and  the hidden secret. 

I've got a guaranteed secret for success and I'll give it away right here and now:  Just show up and do the work.  That's it.  If you just show up and face your life (i.e. your relationship, your career, your deadline, your budget, your dream, etc.), you will lead a magical life in deed.

We usually over-complicate things.  We miss the forest for the trees.  Do me this favor -- for one whole day, give up all activities that involve scheming, planning, researching and worrying.  In their place, simply SHOW UP, DO and BE.  That is all.
