Showing up in support of yourself and others is the key to surviving the storms of life. Reaching out to others is an underrated leadership trait. Show up in support – you never know the type of lifeline that you will be to someone.
Life is about how you react to it. You grow through learning, which is why you need to keep moving forward and learning. Also, remember that it is necessary for you to share your voice.
Reaching Out To Others is Important
When someone crosses your mind, there is always a reason. It is a spur to be there for someone in need. Most times when we get this spur, we ignore it or put it off until later. We often say later but later never comes because life is busy and chaotic. The next thing you know several days or weeks have passed since you felt that spur. This is why it is important to reach out immediately if someone crosses your mind. You have to seize the opportunity that you have to reach out, spread love, and combat feelings of isolation.

- Remember that it’s okay to feel down. Only when you acknowledge how you feel can you be on the road toward healing.
- Always show up for yourself and for your people. You never know how much of a lifeline you become for those you reach. When you show up for people, people will show up for you.
- It’s not your job to heal and touch everybody, but you need to ensure that you are healing and touching somebody.
- Focus on what you can control and not what you can’t control.
- Be okay with someone not responding when you reach out. Don’t let the fear of not getting a response keep you from reaching out.
