3899 Your Heart is the Anchor
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The holiday season is notorious for turning you into a checklist machine. You wake up with a mental rundown of what must be done: complete Cyber purchases, groceries, school events, meal prep, work deadlines, holiday gatherings, gift wrapping, and on and on.

Marriage is no fairy tale without effort. It demands work, dedication, and a clear purpose to turn the ordinary into an extraordinary journey.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denials into acceptance chaos into order, confusion into clarity.

Are you one who is all about the next step and ready to take A.I.M. on what you know to do?
Or are you hanging out with your self-doubt, your lack of confidence and enthusiasm because of what the rumble under others' breaths is telling you?
Getting real with yourself is the first step to understanding where the hangup is.
What if you shift your perspective and focus on what you can do right now? What if you embrace the power of choice and take a step forward, no matter how small it may seem?
If you find yourself grappling with uncertainty and doubt about your current circumstances, it's time to reevaluate your mindset. What are you telling yourself?
Instead of dwelling on what you can't do, let's explore what you can do to pave a new path.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Do what you can now! Create your now!!
But it's unfortunate that our dreams and goals get tossed aside to make room for complaints and the continuity of excuses.
- Where did your age play a part in your success?
- Where did your money make you more successful?
- When did an excuse propel you forward?
The list goes on and on. You get to make a choice to move forward. You get to rise up to the challenge that you are made for more. So what's stopping you?
Once you can grab ahold of that excuse, then you can take the next step.
1. Embrace Gratitude: Take a moment to reflect on what you already have and express gratitude for the blessings in your life. By shifting your focus to what you are grateful for, you can cultivate a positive mindset that empowers you to make bold decisions.
For example, instead of lamenting about your long work hours, appreciate the opportunity to learn and grow in your career.
"Gratitude turns what we have into enough." ~ Kristianne Wargo
2. Set Clear Goals: Define your aspirations and establish tangible goals that align with your values and ambitions. Break down your goals into achievable steps and create a concrete plan to make progress towards them.
For instance, if you dream of starting your own business, outline specific milestones such as researching your target market, developing a business plan, and launching a marketing strategy.
"Goals give direction to our dreams." ~ Kristianne Wargo
3. Cultivate a Support System: Surround yourself with individuals who uplift, inspire, and encourage you to pursue your dreams. Seek guidance from mentors, friends, or family members who believe in your potential and provide constructive feedback.
Connect with like-minded individuals who share your passions and can offer valuable insights.
"Your circle should want to see you win. Your circle should clap the loudest when you have good news." ~ Kristianne Wargo
It's essential to break free from the confines of "you can't stay here" and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead.
By practicing gratitude, setting clear goals, and nurturing a supportive network, you can make the conscious choice to move forward and create a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
"The power to choose is within you. Choose to step into your greatness. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
