Gentle reminder: It's not the height of the mountain that matters - its the climb.
Each step taken, no matter how small, is a moment of courage. Whether you're walking alongside tamariki as they explore big feelings or supporting whanau through rough terrain, your presence and patience are powerful. Kia kaha - the journey itself is where strength is found.
