“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” ~ Jeremiah 17:7-8 When life seems like it's unraveling, trusting God changes everything.

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage is meant to be a sanctuary—a place where you feel seen, supported, and capable of facing anything life throws your way.

3740 You are Worth the Fight!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Do you want more or something different, but struggle to keep that fire flickering? Maybe it’s dim. Maybe it’s drowned out by doubt. But it’s there — that restless urge for something better, bigger, truer to who you really are. You are worth the fight! Here’s the raw truth — no one ever started a real change when everything was perfect. Life is messier than that. Focus feels impossible when the world is pulling you every which way.

3739 What Needs to be a BIG Deal?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When it comes to healthy living, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the endless list of “must-dos” and “should-haves.” Drink more water, eat kale, get 10,000 steps, meditate daily, sleep eight hours, cut out sugar, do strength training, track your macros, avoid screens before bed — the list feels relentless. And that’s exactly where many good intentions go to die: in the overwhelming noise of “all the things.” But what needs to be a BIG deal? Life isn’t about juggling everything perfectly all the time. It’s about identifying what truly needs to be a BIG...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life will try hard to drag you into the daily swirl of other people’s agendas, distractions, and endless to-do lists that don’t even belong to you. It’s easy — dangerously easy — to lose sight of your own purpose and settle for the scraps left over after you’ve tried to manage everyone else’s priorities. Don't you dare dim your light. Why?

info_outlineIn a world where the pursuit of work-life balance seems like the ultimate goal, many experts argue that the idea of balance is merely an illusion. What do you do if striving for balance is not working for you?
For most people, it's fun to talk at the cooler about how great life is and how well put together they are.

But are they really?
Is living a balanced life a real thing or a myth?
For some, it seems like it's working. But for others, they get lost in the mess of life and don't even know if it's real or not simply because of a lack of time.
Tim Grover, a renowned coach who has worked with legendary athletes like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, boldly claims, "Athletes like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant didn't achieve unparalleled success by striving for balance. They understood that excellence requires an unrelenting focus and dedication that goes beyond what is considered balanced."
That's where the water gets a little murky. You have to know the definition of what you define as balanced. What does that even mean?
Unfortunately, life is not about balance. It's more about how you ebb and flow in your life.
The key here lies in embracing the concept of harmony rather than balance. Achieving a life that serves you well doesn’t necessarily mean achieving perfect balance in every aspect. It's about your presence in each moment and where your focus is in that moment.
So if balance is what you think you are wanting, consider discovering the world of presence.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Be present!
Here are three actionable steps to help you live a fulfilled life that aligns with your values and priorities, even if it’s not perfectly balanced. It's all about harmony and your presence.
1. Prioritize Self-Care Over Perfection
Rather than chasing after the elusive ideal of balance, focus on prioritizing self-care and self-compassion. Take the time to assess your needs and boundaries, and don’t be afraid to say no to things that drain your energy. Remember, self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential for your overall well-being.
As Tim Grover aptly puts it, "Avoid the trap of living on autopilot and instead take charge of your destiny. Kobe, like all true champions, understood that living a life on purpose requires intentional choices and a relentless commitment to excellence."
2. Embrace Flexibility and Adaptability
In a world that is constantly changing and evolving, rigidly adhering to a strict notion of balance can lead to frustration and burnout. Instead, cultivate a mindset of flexibility and adaptability. Allow yourself to ebb and flow with the natural rhythms of life, adjusting your priorities and commitments as needed.
As Kristianne Wargo wisely states, "Life is a beautiful dance of highs and lows, twists and turns. Embrace the fluidity of your journey and remember that growth often occurs in moments of imbalance."
3. Cultivate Meaningful Connections and Community
While the idea of balance may imply an equal distribution of time and energy across all areas of your life, true fulfillment often comes from nurturing meaningful relationships and connections. Invest in building a supportive community of friends, family, and mentors who uplift and inspire you.
Tim Grover echoes this sentiment, saying, "Surround yourself with a team of mentors, supporters, and like-minded individuals who share your passion for living on purpose. Building a strong support system will fuel your motivation and drive you towards your goals, just as it did for Kobe."
In conclusion, living a life that serves you well is not about achieving perfect balance in all areas, but rather about finding harmony and alignment with your values and priorities. Embrace self-care, flexibility, and meaningful connections, and remember that true fulfillment comes from honoring your unique journey, imperfections and all.
"Balance works when you are present in your every day, giving yourself the opportunity to be flexible in every way." ~ Kristianne Wargo
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
