The best leaves are always higher up.
It's not fair, is it? The sweetest fruit, the most tender leaves, the best opportunities - they're never just sitting there waiting for you at eye level. They require effort, stretching, sometimes feeling a little uncomfortable as you extend beyond what feels safe and familiar.
Giraffes figured this out millions of years ago. While other animals settled for what was easily accessible, giraffes literally evolved to reach what others couldn't. They didn't complain that the good stuff was too high - they grew taller.
'Reach Higher' is your reminder that settling for what's convenient isn't always settling for what's best. Sometimes the thing you really want - the job, the relationship, the version of yourself you're dreaming of - requires you to stretch beyond your current comfort zone.
During my safari this year, I watched giraffes gracefully extend their impossibly long necks to reach leaves that seemed completely out of reach. No struggle, no drama, just a quiet confidence that they were built for this exact purpose. They didn't question whether they deserved the best leaves - they simply reached for them.
