Energy isn’t endless, it needs care. I used to run until I collapsed, believing rest was a reward. Now I know rest is leadership maintenance. Rest is not a break, but a part and parcel of leadership.

When I rest: through prayer, reflection, walks, or time with loved ones; I return with clarity.

I’ve realized that burnout doesn’t come from giving too much; it comes from giving without renewal. I’m learning to protect my energy the way I’d gently protect a scarce resource, intentionally, with love.

Reflection: What recharges your inner battery – and have you scheduled it this week?
