Tweaked for your Pleasure

There is one thing in life that no one likes doing. There is something in life that no one wants too do and that is stepping up when needed. Some people might be lucky in their life and never have to step up when they are needed but sadly they often fail to see when they are needed.

Everyday, someone needs you. Even right now, there are people that are in need of your help however you may or may not want to see it or to help. This kinda relates back to one of my posts (You can’t speak like that ?) in which I said about people helping. It is often said that you should step up to the call when you are needed, but what I have always wonder is why ?

• Do we step up because people are in need of our help ?
• Do we step up because people just because we want too ?
• Do we step up for our own reasons ?
• Or maybe another reason all together

There will always be a time where you are needed, for many different reasons which some we don’t mind and others we don’t want. An example of this is that people might need us to step to fight what they believe in right, to stand up for change or maybe too stand up because you are the only one that can do so.

Within the last few weeks, I “stepped up” to help some people that otherwise, would have been fucked over during their education. Did I want to do it ?

Well, maybe so or maybe not. Personally, I would have rather that they was given what they was promised when they started however due to problems (for reasons that ain’t being listed) that I was asked in person. I stepped up so they could get what they should have had. However, it always seems when you step up that two things happens.

The first is that you always lose something for doing so. While I will not list the stuff I “losted” for doing this, however it always seems that the reward always makes up for it. While in my case, I was paid to do so that it isn’t that, that made me step up. I am sure that some of the people that was affected are thanking me for stepping up and helping them out. And it is that, which makes it worth while.

Now, I could go on and on about how many times I have stood up for people, helped them when needed, go beyond the call of duty, passed on credit to someone else and well, many other stuff. Everytime, I have never  - EVER have looked back and said to myself that I woudl have done it differently or that I reget doing it.

And never should you….

• Have you ever stepped up and done something that others needed you to do ?
• Have you ever was unable to do something that others needed you to do ?

Do share your experiences (do not say any names of people you helped, but you can say names of people that has helped you).
