Day 8: The Fork in the Road: Grief vs. Growth

Описание: The Fork in the Road: Grief vs. Growth

Learning to identify the source and purpose of emotional pain during transition is a critical leadership skill.

At some point, every leader reaches a fork in the road.

Grief feels heavy and resistant, clinging to the past and longing for what was.

Growth feels tender and exposed, stretching you toward what must be.
Both require letting go.
But grief pulls you backward.
Growth demands faith for the future.

The danger?
Mislabeling growth as failure.

When leaders cannot discern between grief and growth, they abandon necessary transitions, shrink under pressure, or retreat to what feels familiar. But when you develop the emotional intelligence to recognize the difference, you gain the resilience to endure the “messy middle” of transformation.

This conversation is about discernment.
It’s about resilience.
It’s about leadership maturity.

Because not all discomfort means something is wrong.

Sometimes it means something is being built.

My question for you:
Are you growing… or are you grieving?
