Most people expect life to move in straight lines.

They think growth should always be up and to the right. Productivity should be daily. Progress should never slow down. But life doesn’t work that way. It moves in cycles.

Just like the world moves through seasons, your life does too.

Winter

Winter feels quiet. Sometimes cold, barren, and empty. But that’s the point.

This is the time you pull back. You pause. You conserve energy and give your mind room to process what came before.

It often feels like nothing is happening. But below the surface, clarity is forming. This is when healing happens. When you begin to see what’s next. Contemplating your next move.

Winter is the season of stillness and reflection.

Spring

Spring brings movement. Energy returns. Curiosity stirs.

You begin to explore again. You take risks. You test things. You plant seeds without knowing exactly what will grow.

Mistakes are part of this season. So is uncertainty. But that’s what makes it so exciting. Spring is for trying, not perfecting. Let yourself experiment. Don’t rush the results.

Spring is the season of starting and experimenting.

Summer

Summer is in the heat of it all.

Your projects gain traction. Your energy is high. Focus sharpens. You finally feel like you're in the groove.

But with growth comes risk. Burnout hides in this season. It’s easy to push too hard and forget that recovery is more important than effort for high performance.

Summer is when you build. Summer is the season of growth and momentum.

Fall

Fall is cooling off.

You enjoy the wins. You take stock of what worked. You also begin to release what didn’t.

Fall brings closure and transition. You prepare for what’s next, even as you appreciate what’s now. It’s a time for gratitude, pruning, and letting go.

What you release now creates space for what’s coming next. Fall is the season of harvest and letting go.
