3821 Everything Starts as a Seed
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every journey, every success, and every change begins with a seed. Not just a physical seed planted in soil, but the unseen seeds you plant daily through your mindset, words, actions, and choices.

What you build—your relationships, your business, your character—everything starts as a seed, and it requires intentionality for it to grow. The truth is simple: you will harvest what you sow. The seeds you plant today become the outcomes you face tomorrow. That’s why it’s critical to focus on planting...

When life pounds hard and hope feels distant, despair and discouragement can grip tightly. It’s easy to believe the story has ended, that the mess and pain will define us permanently.

3818 When Your Words Feel Small
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
As parents, it's hard to know if what we are saying is sticking. Sometimes, we talk in circles and nothing seems to change. Whatever you do, don't give up when your words feel small.

3816 Just Commitment And The Right Moves
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Starting roughly in your 30s, your body starts losing muscle mass every year. This isn’t a cosmetic problem—it’s a quality of life issue. Less muscle means lower strength, reduced mobility, slower metabolism, and a higher risk of injury and chronic illness. Muscle isn’t optional; it’s essential if you want to keep living actively and fiercely. All it takes is just commitment and the right moves. So, how do you build muscle? And how do you do it right, especially if fat is more of your story right now? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at...

3815 Celebrate Today's Joys
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too often, we let the shadow of what might happen tomorrow steal the sunshine of today. Fear of the unknown, worries about future setbacks, or anxieties over “what ifs” take up residence in our minds—and in doing so, they rob us of moments worth celebrating right now. So celebrate today's joys. Because life isn’t waiting, you don’t get a replay of today’s joy tomorrow. If you don’t celebrate the wins you have today, you’re losing ground.

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!!!"
