3818 When Your Words Feel Small

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.

Why is it that we rise to the complaints of yesterday only to find ourselves seeking what we want for tomorrow, yet we forget about today?

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.

3814 The Score Does Not Matter
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In a world obsessed with metrics, likes, followers, promotions, or dollar signs, it’s easy to get trapped measuring your worth by numbers you don’t control.

3813 The Wait Is Over
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Walking in step with God isn’t just a stroll in the park—it’s a gritty, often grueling journey that challenges your patience more than the external chaos of the world. The hardest part isn’t what comes at us from outside, but wrestling with the timing of God’s plan. The truth is, God has already prepared a way before you. He has a place destined for you. But here’s the catch: So when He knows you are ready, the wait is over. We know the feeling all too well. A dream seeds itself deep inside, and you see the vision crystal clear—a powerful calling, a life meant for more. Yet, why...

Wouldn’t it be something—waking up tomorrow and seeing your spouse with the same excitement and admiration you had when you were dating? That feeling you had when you first said “I do” wasn’t accidental. Something real, compelling, and valuable caught your attention—remember what you forgot. Let’s be honest: daily life grinds us down.

The score is the snapshot of progress, often shallow and fleeting—the social proof, the paycheck, the applause.
The win is the deep-rooted success that comes from showing up, breaking your limits, and moving forward even when the scoreboard reads zero. It’s your transformation lived out, not just counted.
At some point, you face a choice: will you let setbacks and scores define you, or will you respond deliberately to build the life you crave?
Because if you don’t steer that ship, habit takes over—and your habits are often the invisible blockers holding you back from everything you want.
Forget the numbers. Do what it takes to win.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Do what it takes to win!
Did you watch the NFL game on Sunday night with the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills?
Sixteen points were put on the board in 4 minutes!! Crazy? YES!!
If you weren't one who watched the game and someone just told you who won, it wouldn't matter. But if you watched the game only to see that the Ravens were winning until these sixteen points were made in 4 minutes, you would be amazed at the final score, 40 to 41. The Buffalo Bills won!!
Here are three powerful moves to stop focusing on the score and start winning every single day.
1. Shift Your Mindset: Prioritize Progress Over Perfection
Winning starts in the mind. When you’re obsessed with the “score,” you’re chasing perfection or external validation. Instead, pivot to valuing consistent progress—even if it looks messy or feels slow.
What this looks like:
Imagine a woman entrepreneur launching her first online coaching program. The number of sign-ups—or lack thereof on launch day—might sting. But if she measures success only by immediate sales, she’s dead in the water. Instead, she celebrates every lesson learned, every connection made, every imperfect new step. She invests in refining her offer, keeps creating, and follows up with prospects. Over time, that relentless progress builds a business, even if the "score" doesn’t reflect it at first.
This mindset frees you to do the work without being shackled to instant results. It’s the discomfort of a small daily win that stacks up into something unstoppable.
2. Build Grit: Do the Hard Work Nobody Sees
Nobody ever wins by skipping the grind. If you want your dream, you need to commit to the unseen, unspectacular hard work that builds muscle, skill, and resilience.
Real-life example:
Consider a woman training for a marathon while juggling a full-time job and parenting. She could look at her slow pace or missed runs as a “score” failure. But true winning is in the decision to run the next mile no matter what fatigue or doubt tells her. It’s in the quiet mornings she sacrifices, the sore muscles she pushes through, and the commitment to her why—even when no one’s watching.
Grit means you stop waiting for everything to be perfect and start doing the hard stuff anyway. That’s what creates breakthroughs.
3. Let Go of Comparison: Own Your Unique Journey
When you’re hooked on the scoreboard, you’re playing someone else’s game. Social media intensifies this trap, teasing you with everyone else’s highlight reels. But winning means owning that you are on your own path with your own terrain, speed, and wins.
Example:
A woman climbing the corporate ladder might see peers getting promoted faster or praised louder. She can waste energy feeling behind or “not enough” — or she can double down on her distinct strengths, build relationships that matter, and stretch in ways aligned with her values—even if it looks slower or less flashy.
By releasing comparison, you reclaim your focus and energy for what actually moves you toward your dream.
The Bottom Line: Do Whatever It Takes to Win — Not to Score
Life’s measurement isn’t in numbers—it’s in your courage to act despite uncertainty, your grit when no one’s applauding, and your commitment to your unique vision. The scoreboard is a side effect. The win is the prize.
1 Corinthians 9:24 (NIV): “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.”
It captures that sense of intentional effort and focus on the true win—not just running aimlessly but pursuing your goal with purpose.
Do whatever it takes to win.
So, stop feeding your doubt with the scoreboard’s noise. Start feeding your momentum with actions that matter.
Now is the time to play to win. Not to impress. Not to tally points. To win on your own terms—create your now.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
