3934 Quit Waiting for a Guarantee
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
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...

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.

info_outlineToo much of our time is spent in the past. Why do you give more hours to something you can't change? What you have is here and now; let go so you can grow.
When we are trying to live out our dreams and discover our purpose in life, somehow we forget that the past matters more than the present, or even the future.
Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com
We tie ourselves to all the failures of what didn't work, but forget the few things that worked well.
Seriously! You can't live a life on purpose with a divine design if you let your past become your present.
Oftentimes, we give hope to the ashes and forget to discover the beauty in the adventure.
Who you are and who you are becoming is a journey of a lifetime. If you want to grow God's way, you have to let go.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Let go so you can grow!
Because if you continue to hold tight onto the past, you neglect the beauty of the present and the endless possibilities of the future.
Letting go is not just a choice; it's a masterpiece in motion where growth, self-discovery, and becoming who you are created to be shine brightly.
Here are three transformative steps to release the past and embrace the journey of becoming the person God desires you to be:
1. Practice Forgiveness: Holding onto grudges, resentment, and bitterness only poisons your spirit and hinders your growth. To truly let go and move forward, practice forgiveness – not just toward others but toward yourself as well. Release the burden of past mistakes and choose to forgive, allowing healing and freedom to enter your heart.
2. Cultivate Mindfulness: Embrace the power of mindfulness to anchor yourself in the present moment. By being fully aware of your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings, you can let go of the grip the past has on you. Mindfulness allows you to detach from negative patterns of thinking and open yourself up to new opportunities and possibilities. Change is a constant, and growth is a choice.
3. Embrace Surrender: Surrendering control and trusting in what God has for you can be very freeing. Letting go of the need to micromanage every aspect of your life and instead surrendering to God's plan can lead to immense growth and transformation. Trust in the journey laid out before you, have faith that all things work together for your good, and release the need to constantly fight against the current.
When you give yourself permission to practice forgiveness, cultivate mindfulness, and embrace surrender, you pave the way for personal growth, spiritual awakening, and alignment with God's divine purpose designed for you.
Letting go is not a sign of weakness but a demonstration of strength and faith in the journey ahead. Release the past, embrace the present, and watch yourself grow into the person you are becoming in the future.
This is your day to shine brightly!
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
