The mornings are cooler now. Seems the "ber" months have finally made their entrance. The leaves are starting to shift. My daughters are already counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas break.
And somewhere between the chill in the air and the early sunsets, I realized, we’ve entered a new season. Not just on the calendar, but in life.
Every one of us is walking through one:
Planting. Pruning. Growing. Resting.
But most of us miss it because we’re too busy pushing through to pause and notice.
The Power of Recognizing Your Season
We tend to believe that more effort equals more progress. But sometimes, forcing growth in the wrong season only leads to frustration.
You can’t harvest what you haven’t planted.
You can’t bloom where you haven’t been rooted.
And you can’t recover if you never rest.
Knowing what season you’re in changes how you move, and just as importantly, how you treat yourself in the process.
This Week's Bold Question:
"What season are you really in right now? And are you honoring it?"
Be honest.
Maybe this is your season to grind.
Maybe it’s your season to grieve.
Maybe it’s your season to grow quietly.
Whatever it is, you can’t master what you won’t name.
Three High-Performance Shifts
Once you name your season, you can navigate it with wisdom instead of worry.
These three shifts will help you move with more peace, power, and presence. No matter what season you’re in.
- Awareness before Action.
Stop demanding summer results in a winter season. Every purpose has a pace. You can’t rush a rhythm you were meant to respect. If life feels slow, maybe it’s not punishment. It’s probably preparation. - Acceptance over Resistance.
Redefine productivity as presence. You don’t always need to do more; sometimes you need to be more aware. Growth requires grace. Every strong tree spends a season underground before it breaks the surface. You’re not behind, you’re building. - Alignment over Ambition.
Protect your peace while you plant your promise. Ambition without alignment leads to exhaustion. You can’t bloom in every season, and you don’t have to. Your job is to stay faithful in the one you’re in.
Amplifying the Lesson
When you start honoring your season, pressure turns into perspective.
You stop forcing what’s not ready.
You stop apologizing for what’s growing slowly.
And you start trusting that every pause, pruning, and push has purpose.
Because seasons don’t just change you, they reveal you.
The question isn’t “How fast can I grow?”
It’s “What is this season trying to grow in me?”
