The Summit Within There once was a bear who never feared the climb. While others stayed safe in the valley, content with the comfort of the known, this bear looked toward the highest peaks—where the air was thin, the wind sharp, and the path unforgiving. They called him foolish. They said the journey wasn’t worth the pain. But he had something they didn’t: a fire inside, a voice that whispered, “You were not made to stay small.” So, he climbed. He stumbled, slipped, bled, and roared. Yet with each step, he became something more—stronger, clearer, deeper. The mountain did not make him powerful. It revealed the power that was already there. And when he finally stood at the top, surrounded by the fire of the setting sun, he did not roar in victory. He simply breathed. Because in that moment, he understood: the real triumph was not the view—but the courage to rise. You, too, have a summit within. Don’t be afraid to climb. #nativeamericanwisdom
