Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Life doesn’t hand out guarantees. No matter how much you want a smooth ride or a sure win, it simply doesn’t work that way. Success, growth, and reaching your goals come from one thing above all else—intention. How you think, decide, and act every single day shapes whether you make it across the finish line. So quit waiting for a guarantee. When you’re chasing something brand new—whether it’s launching a business, changing careers, or mastering a skill—there’s no autopilot.

3933 How Grief Affects Your Mindset show art 3933 How Grief Affects Your Mindset

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Grief isn’t just about losing a loved one. It’s a full-body, mind-consuming response to any meaningful loss: a job, a home, a relationship, a dream gone sideways. If you don’t understand how grief rewires your mindset, it can trap you in a mental box where all you see is what’s broken—and how far you are from climbing out of that dark hole. When you understand how grief affects your mindset, you get why you're paralyzed, stuck replaying the what, why, and how over and over, missing the possibility of what’s next. So let’s get real: grief is brutal, disorienting, and...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Walking in step with God is never a passive journey, especially when the world around you seems determined to pull you off course.

3930 Intentional Parenting that Moves Mountains show art 3930 Intentional Parenting that Moves Mountains

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Every new year brings a fresh chance to hit the reset button — including how you show up as a parent. But let's be real: parenting is hard, exhausting, and often thankless. If you coast through it, thinking your kids will "figure it out," you’re setting everyone up for frustration and chaos. Kids need more than just food and shelter; they need consistent guidance, love, and boundaries; it's intentional parenting that moves mountains. Because when you slack off, what you get is exactly what you put in — kids who push limits, test boundaries, and fill the void left by absent parenting....

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Every New Year arrives heavy with promises! However, let’s be honest, you've gotta fair share of frustration, too. For millions, those well-meaning resolutions quickly unravel, leaving behind guilt and the familiar cycle of “I failed again.” But the harsh truth is that pushing yourself to “fix” every flaw with iron willpower only sets up a battle you can’t win long-term. So what if forward progress requires forgiveness in your healthy living? Well-being doesn’t emerge from beating yourself into a different person. Yet all too often, that’s exactly the approach New Year’s...

In life, we often find ourselves facing unexpected challenges and circumstances that threaten to derail our plans and aspirations. The question then arises: do our circumstances dictate our next steps?

While it may seem daunting to confront this reality, it is essential to consider how we can navigate these uncharted waters and continue moving forward toward our goals.

"Control is a great thing until you can't do it. Unfortunately, that applies to life; the only guarantee in life is change. Change is a constant. Therefore, if you cannot control it, then do your circumstances dictate your next steps?" ~ Kristianne Wargo

In the face of adversity, life is unpredictable. And that's all the more reason for the importance of resilience and determination. While circumstances may present obstacles, they should not dictate our path forward. You've gotta fall toward your dreams!

The K.I.S.S. ~ Fall toward your dreams!

Here are three actionable steps to shift your focus towards your goals, rather than allowing circumstances to dictate your next steps:

1. Cultivate a Positive Mindset: Embrace a mindset of resilience and optimism, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and learning.

"Our mindset plays a crucial role in determining our response to challenges. By maintaining a positive outlook, we can overcome obstacles with grace and determination." ~ Kristianne Wargo

2. Set Clear Goals and Prioritize: Define your goals and priorities, breaking them down into manageable steps.

"Setting clear goals empowers us to stay focused on our objectives, regardless of external circumstances. By prioritizing tasks and actions, we can make steady progress towards our aspirations." ~ Kristianne Wargo

3. Seek Support and Guidance: Surround yourself with a supportive network of friends, mentors, and resources to help you navigate challenging times.

"We are not meant to face challenges alone. Reach out to trusted individuals who can provide encouragement, advice, and perspective during difficult times." ~ Kristianne Wargo

While life's circumstances may pose obstacles, it is essential to maintain focus on your goals and aspirations. Your dreams matter!

"Do not let your circumstances define your future. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and keep falling toward your dreams." ~ Kristianne Wargo

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
