Is this season forming you… or draining you?


Hello Reader,

I’ve been sitting with a question lately:

What is this season doing IN me?

Before writing this week’s reflection, I previously asked:

When pressure builds, what is your first instinct?

56% of leaders said:
“Stay quiet and move on.”

That answer lingered. (For starters, it's how I answered the question.)

Because staying quiet often looks like strength on the surface.

But over time, it can become something else.

Not all struggle shapes us the same way.

Some struggles slowly drain us.
They narrow our perspective.
They leave us carrying more than anyone realizes.

But other struggles…
do something quieter, and deeper.

They form us.

They clarify what matters.
They reshape how we see people.
They invite us to carry things differently.

This week’s reflection explores that tension:

You can read it here:

As you read, just notice this:

Is the way I’m carrying this season forming me…
or quietly draining me?

P.S. Wade shared something in our conversation that’s stayed with me:
“When we choose to struggle well, we don’t just endure — we grow.”
