Every Step Has Meaning

When we look at the leaders around us — those who have climbed step by step — it’s clear that every ascent comes with challenge. Every time something good is about to unfold in our lives, things often get harder just before that next step of growth.

When I was a child, I was taught a phrase in Cree: môy konita today is not for nothing.
At the time, I didn’t fully understand it. But as I’ve grown, I’ve realized what it means — nothing in our journey is wasted. Every challenge, every lesson, every moment of doubt serves a purpose.

Each of us has been chosen for the work we do. We’ve been given gifts, talents, and abilities — and we’ve paired them with our calling to serve others, to help them live better, longer, more meaningful lives.

That is sacred work. And when the path feels steep, remember: it’s often because you’re about to rise to your next level.
