A lot of men are caught up in the grind and they can't get out. They are focused on surviving the week and making it to Saturday or Sunday or until they actually get a day off!

This will wear us down and destroy us as men. We must break free of the grind. We do this by understanding the natural seasons of life.  Just like our weather has seasons, so does our life. Understand the seasons and you will break out of the grind.

The Seasonal Rotation

• 4 Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
• Spring
• Spring is a time of preparing and seed sowing
• Input
• Working Calendar
• Summer
• This is a busy time for agricultural people
• Everyone has busy seasons in their life
• Weeding
• Watering
• Fall
• Store up, can, and enjoy the harvest
• Celebration
• Enjoy
• Winter
• Rest and Repair are big components of the winter
• Plan
• Connect
• Build Roots

Embracing the Seasons

• Helps keep us balanced
• Helps us look up from the grind
• Helps us look within
• Builds flexibility in us and our family
• Helps disconnect our identity from our work
• Encourages work and effort
• Encourages healthy celebration

Ignoring the Seasons

• When we ignore the seasons, we get messed up in our thinking
• Life gets out of balance quickly
• Burnout and wasted work
• Discouragement will move in without seasons
• We will lack relational connections
• We will lack roots
• Exhaustion breeds bad choices
