3969 Reframe the Frame
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life is a relentless challenge. Sometimes it feels like waves crashing one after another—without a pause. If you pile on extra weight from how you see those waves crashing, you don’t just face the storm; you drown in it before your day even begins. Look at your life differently; reframe the frame. Your mind doesn’t just observe your reality, it creates it. The frame you choose to see your life through either traps you in frustration or frees you to act with clarity. When everything feels impossible, the difference between sinking and swimming is rewriting that frame. Desire to be...

3968 When Life Doesn't Go As Planned
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Have you ever paused to ask yourself why the goals you once set remain out of reach? Why the plans you carefully crafted seem to unravel, leaving you stuck somewhere between disappointment and confusion? When life doesn’t go as planned, the fallout can feel like a long, harsh fall—so disorienting that figuring out the next step seems impossible. And yet, we cling to that single burning desire: to push through and reclaim the path we envisioned. Life rarely bends to our will.

3967 The Game Isn't Over Yet
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The final quarter of any game is the ultimate test—the moment when hope and pressure collide. The scoreboard might look grim, and it’s tempting to feel worn down or defeated.

3966 Build an Unbeatable Marriage
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage isn’t a solo journey—it’s a coordinated team effort that wins or loses together. Like a quarterback reading his receiver’s movements or a pair of dancers moving in perfect harmony, successful marriages require sharp communication, unwavering trust, and an instinctive understanding of each other’s needs. When both partners learn to anticipate, adapt, and align their moves toward shared goals, they build an unbeatable marriage—on and off the field. This kind of partnership doesn’t happen by accident. It takes practice, commitment, and a game plan that both partners buy...

3965 Red Zone Parenting
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Parenting is like running a red zone play in football — the stakes are sky-high, the pressure’s crushing, and every move matters more than usual. You’re tired, stretched thin, and the margin for error feels paper-thin. It’s that relentless zone where kids need you most, but sometimes in red zone parenting, you just want to drop the playbook and cry. No one often says: being a great parent doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. The real power comes from showing up as you are—flawed, vulnerable, exhausted—and still choosing love and presence. Desire to be supported...

3964 Find Strength in Your Team
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too often, we’re sold the myth that success means shouldering everything solo. You’re told to grind, hustle, and prove yourself by pushing harder—alone.

3963 Fuel Like A Champion
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Do you want to play like a champion? Then start by treating your mind and body like they actually matter. Because if you're honest with yourself, talent and hustle can only carry you so far when your fuel tank is running on empty, your brain is fogged, and your body is begging for rest. The power of peak performance is not just for the field. So fuel like a champion. The elite football players of the Super Bowl. They don’t just show up to practice—they obsess over how they eat, sleep, and recover. That’s their secret weapon. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

3962 More Than Just Words
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

3960 Why the Small Stuff Matters to God
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Have you ever thought why the small stuff matters to God? Shouldn't just the big things that shift your life get all the attention? It’s easy to let your everyday get swallowed up by the routines and distractions, work deadlines, household chores, and endless to-do lists that we often overlook where our faith truly intersects with our everyday moments. But you must remember, God cares deeply about the seemingly small, mundane parts of your day. It’s in these moments that your faith becomes real, not just a Sunday sentiment but a lived reality. Consider Colossians 3:23–24 (NIV):...

Success or failure isn't just about the choices you make—it’s about how you respond when those choices don’t deliver the results you aimed for.
So, what do you do when things don’t pan out? Do you stew in frustration, letting the weight of unmet expectations crush your momentum? Do you quit and move on, chalking the experience up as a loss? Or do you pause long enough to reflect, recalibrate, and then lean back in with fresh resolve?
Urgency and looming deadlines can pressure us into rushing through setbacks. It’s tempting to sweep failures under the rug and act like they never happened. But life is too short—and your dreams too important—for surface-level fixes. Sometimes, you need to stop right there. Take time to rest. To think. To shift your mindset away from obsessing over the outcome and toward valuing your efforts.
Why efforts? Because results can feel like fickle markers of worth. They don’t always reflect your hustle, learning, or growth. When you hold tight to your efforts rather than clutching desperately to a specific result, you build resilience. You turn failure into fuel.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn failure into fuel!
And you know that isn't done by quitting. You must hold on to determination and diligence.
Here are three straightforward strategies to hold onto determination and diligence—no matter what life throws at you:
-
Pause and Assess: Take a deliberate breath. Acknowledge what went wrong without judgment. This moment of clarity helps you understand your decisions and their impact, so your next action is smarter, not just reactionary.
-
Reframe Failure: Look at failure as a signpost, not a dead-end. It’s feedback—valuable data on what didn’t work, where the gaps are, and what you can do differently. This mindset reduces fear and opens room for growth.
-
Commit to Consistent Action: Show up every day and chip away at your goals, regardless of setbacks. Determination isn’t about giant leaps; it’s about faithful persistence. No one reaches greatness overnight.
Remember, success isn’t a straight line. It's a messy path filled with choices that sometimes lead to stumbles. But those stumbles don’t have to define you or your journey. They can teach you, sharpen you, and set you up for an even stronger comeback.
So hang tight. Stay focused on the effort you pour in daily, not just the scoreboard. Your next move is ready and waiting—one step at a time.
"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness."
