Why This Quote Matters
True care sometimes looks like stepping back. When you remove every obstacle for someone, you also remove their chance to discover what they're capable of. The struggle is often where the growth lives.
This is one of the hardest things to hold when you love someone — the understanding that letting them face difficulty isn't abandonment. It's respect.
Think of someone in your life you might be overprotecting. What would it look like to support them without solving everything for them?
