4131 Fear Isn't Who You Are
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Fear rarely shows up looking like fear. It shows up looking like "that's just who I am." It shows up as "I've always been this way." It shows up in the sentence that starts with "I'm not the kind of person who..." — and ends right before you find out you actually could have been. That's the sneaky part. Fear doesn't usually announce itself. It just quietly moves into the identity you've built for yourself, unpacks its bags, and starts paying rent. And over time, you stop noticing it's even there. You just think it's you. But fear isn't who you are. We all carry a version of ourselves...

4130 Find the Gift in the Grind
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Some days don't ask permission. They just show up — loud, full, and relentless. The alarm goes off before you're ready. The inbox is already three messages deep before your coffee's even brewed. Somewhere between the meeting that ran long and the errand you forgot, you look up and realize the whole day has passed you by, and you can barely remember a single moment of it. This is the trap of a busy life: we get so wrapped up in doing that we forget to notice we're living. And in that forgetting, we lose something precious — the ability to see the good that's been sitting right in front...

4129 Why Your Hustle Needs A Pause
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
How many times have you pushed through the day fueled by caffeine and sheer will, only to realize by evening your decisions are fuzzy, your energy is gone, and your brain feels like mush? Your decisions are only as good as the sleep you got the night before. Your actions are only as strong as the rest of your body took the day before. Your productivity hinges on how still and quiet your mind has been — not how fast it’s been spinning. It's no wonder why your hustle needs a pause. The culture today glorifies nonstop motion as the only path to success. But the consequence is a society on the...

4128 The Room is Never Empty
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There's a version of faith that lives in a building. You walk in on Sunday, sing the songs, hear the message, maybe even feel something shift in your chest. Then you walk out, get in the car, and by Tuesday afternoon you're back to running your week on your own steam — making decisions, carrying stress, fighting battles — like you're the only one in the room. You know that gap between the sanctuary and the rest of your life is where a lot of us quietly live. Not because we stopped believing, but because we started treating God like a scheduled appointment instead of a constant presence....

4127 Are You Sleeping with a Stranger?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
People change. That’s a truth we all accept, or at least give a nod to in passing, yet rarely sit with deeply. Time moves on, circumstances evolve, and the very essence of who we are shifts in subtle and profound ways. So why does it feel so strange with the person you share a bed with—are you sleeping with a stranger? When you lie down beside your spouse tonight, take a moment to ask yourself: Are you sleeping beside the person you once knew, or a stranger who lives in their skin?

4126 You're Not Lost, You're Just Sightseeing
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life doesn’t come with a map. It twists and turns, throws detours at us, and sometimes drops us in places we never expected. This reality hits even harder when you’re raising kids—because now you’re not just navigating your own path; you’re guiding little explorers through their own confusing journeys. Overwhelm can take over, leaving you with questions: “Am I doing this right? Are we lost?” But the thing is that you’re not lost; you’re just sightseeing. When you’re sightseeing, you don’t panic because you’re off-course. You pause. You take in the landscape. You explore...

4125 It's Okay to Look Back
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Looking back at your past is natural. It’s part of being human. We reflect on where we came from, what we’ve endured, and how we’ve grown. But there’s a line between glancing at your history and living inside it. Be careful how long you hang out with your past. Like Doris Roberts said, “It’s okay to look back, just don’t stare.” Some people get stuck in their past like it’s a favorite hangout spot—even a safe one. They replay old mistakes, clutch grudges, or drown in regrets. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . This isn’t...

4124 Put the Phone Down
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
We live in a world wired for distraction. Endless notifications, the addictive drag of social media feeds, and the constant buzz of other people’s highlight reels can pull us from what truly matters. We wonder why we feel stuck—trapped in what has happened, fixated on what didn’t work, and overwhelmed by the noise of life. But here’s the brutal truth: if the past leads your present, you’re not moving forward—you’re treading water. Put the phone down. Stop scrolling through other people’s curated moments, the endless barrage of “perfect” lives. Desire to be supported and...

4123 Get Through Today
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In a world buzzing with endless tasks, deadlines, and distractions, it’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of what’s next. We pile on to-do lists, strategize for tomorrow’s meetings, plan meals, manage errands, and somehow forget the most important moment—the present. The secret isn’t to conquer every challenge at once, but to zero in on what calls for your attention right now. The goal is simple: get through today. Matthew 6:34 says— “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Desire to be supported...

4122 What If You Lowered the Bar?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
How much of your time is wasted feeling overwhelmed while trying to do everything with excellence? Excellence is always great. But maybe good is enough. Expectations are hard to reach, especially when you set the bar high for absolutely everything. So what if you lowered the bar? Standards are a double-edged sword. They can work to your advantage. They push you to grow, to care about your output, to take pride in what you produce. But standards can also become a stumbling block — one that holds you hostage to procrastination and overwhelm. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...
info_outlineWhen you're constantly seeking perfection, the pursuit of flawlessness can be exhausting. The impossible standards and endlessly tweaking your work and goals become a life of ideals. Shift your perspective; done is better than perfect.

The perfect day. The perfect weather. The perfect marriage. The perfect house. The perfect bank account. The perfect kids. The perfect career. The perfect life!
But what if we shifted our perspective and embraced the beauty of imperfection? What if we let go of the need for everything to be perfect and instead focused on simply getting things done?
"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence." - Vince Lombardi
We live in a culture that often equates success with flawless execution. However, the reality is that perfection is an illusion – an unattainable goal that can leave us feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. In our quest for perfection, we may lose sight of the joy of creation and the satisfaction of completion.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now!
"Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it." - Salvador Dali
As we navigate the ups and downs of life, it's important to remember that perfection is not the ultimate goal. Instead, focusing on progress, growth, and perseverance can lead to greater fulfillment and satisfaction. By embracing the mantra "done is better than perfect," we can free ourselves from the shackles of perfectionism and allow ourselves to simply do our best in the moment.
"Progress, not perfection." - Unknown
That's what we're headed for. Are you?
Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, successes and failures. Rather than fixating on achieving perfection, choose to celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small. Each step forward, no matter how imperfect, brings you closer to your goals and dreams.
Done is better than perfect. Create your now!
Remember, the creative process is inherently messy. "Art is never finished, only abandoned," said Leonardo da Vinci. This notion can free you from the prison of perfection. Accepting that there will always be a few rough edges allows you to release your work into the world, where its value transcends its imperfections.
As Kristianne Wargo once said, "Embrace the journey, celebrate the progress, and remember that done is better than perfect."
So, the next time you find yourself hesitating, paralyzed by the fear of imperfection, remember that getting things done – even if they're not flawless – is an achievement in itself. Embrace the process, trust in your abilities, and take pride in what you have accomplished. Because in the end, done is better than perfect.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
