Stepping up is something we think about often but we don’t put into action. I mean we don’t clearly think about it in terms of the way we move into people’s lives, with the things we do in life, with our jobs and any other projects we have going on. In my opinion the way you step up is giving 100% to whatever you are doing or whatever you are involved with. I think people have forgotten this concept.

Stepping up at work I think is something we do often. We want to get more recognition, want to be noticed more or we are shooting for that promotion we want. So we step out of our comfort zone and step up. We show managers and colleagues why we deserve to be here. Why you should be looked at more often because you’ve stepped up.

Stepping up also applies to dating, relationships and friendships because we tend to be lax when it comes to certain things. We make a rule we shouldn’t do too much but at the same time I think that hurts you. You step into someone’s life, make sure they know you are here and why. Step up, step in and be recognized. They will remember you for you greatness and the type of person you are. Stepping up doesn’t mean just being visible, it means actually putting in work to maintain something great.

Not saying you have to step up for everything but things that you want, you should. Don’t wait on it to come to you. Reach out and make it known what you want, then remain consistent with trying to get it. I think that is the main thing we forget about stepping up, is remaining consistent. Consistently step up and show up, not just one time but all the time.
