Episode 3964 finds strength in your team.
0:06
Moms, it's time to rediscover, rejuvenate,
0:09
and renew who you are in mind, body, and spirit.
0:11
Welcome to Create Your Now, Your Best Selfie,
0:14
the show that help you do just that.
0:16
Here's your host, Certified Life Coach,
0:18
Personal Trainer, and Nutritionist, Christian Wargo.
0:25
Happy Happy Day, ready, set, putt!
0:28
Oh, yes, it is Super Bowl Weekend, and you know what?
0:31
It's Friday, June, here.
0:32
That means we're getting closer to the big game,
0:34
and you know what, the Olympics opening ceremony,
0:36
I believe is Friday.
0:37
I think I said it was Wednesday earlier.
0:38
I'm so confused as to what day it is,
0:40
but mark your calendars.
0:41
It's going to be a great weekend for some great games,
0:44
some great competition, find strength in your team.
0:48
For those of you who are brand new to Create Your Now,
0:50
welcome to this incredible family.
0:51
I'm so delighted of your presence.
0:53
If you already even had the opportunity,
0:55
you want to head on over to CreatureNow.com,
0:57
you can learn more and sign up for the Kisses newsletter
0:59
to keep it simple strategy, everyday solutions,
1:02
to live, love, and impact.
1:05
All right, so are you really ready?
1:07
I mean, come on, you have everything done,
1:09
or do you need to go to the Big Box Storage?
1:11
I won't tell your secret to anyone.
1:13
I need to go to, we're going to be doing some fun family things,
1:16
and I don't know, we'll probably pop some popcorn
1:18
and have, oh well, you kind of have chips and salsa, right?
1:21
You just got to have chips and dip
1:23
in some form or fashion.
1:24
But are you ready, like, seriously?
1:27
But I'm not talking about the Super Bowl.
1:30
I'm going to refer to it, yes.
1:32
But I'm talking about you.
1:35
Too often we're sold the myth
1:37
that success means soldering everything solo.
1:40
We do it well as mummies.
1:42
We show up and we're the nurturers,
1:45
and maybe you have your husband
1:46
that comes and cleans and cooks behind you
1:49
and does some of those things too.
1:51
Maybe you're not that.
1:53
Maybe you're a single parent.
1:55
Wherever you are in the spectrum,
1:58
us as mummies we wear a very, very, very heavy load.
2:04
We wear it, and I think we shoulder it
2:05
to the point where we got to show everybody
2:08
that we're our own hero, right?
2:14
Because I know the world sometimes tells us that, right?
2:17
You're told to grind.
2:18
You're told to do the hustle
2:19
and to prove yourself by pushing harder
2:25
But you're not less than for needing help.
2:29
You're smart and strong.
2:32
For building a team you can rely on.
2:35
So find strength in your team.
2:38
I mean, let's take a page
2:40
out of the expert's books, right?
2:41
We're talking Super Bowl quarterbacks.
2:43
Come on, they're there for a reason.
2:45
Nobody wins a game without a huddle.
2:48
A moment when the entire team stops,
2:50
locks in and plans the next move.
2:53
And if you miss that huddle,
2:55
you miss what's next.
2:57
Have you watched them on the field?
2:59
That one last player,
3:01
player number 11's coming off
3:03
with player number 11 coming on
3:06
as in they're switching.
3:07
And if that last player comes in
3:09
and they didn't get the play,
3:11
there's gonna be some mishap.
3:12
And you've seen that.
3:14
You've seen it in the NFL.
3:15
You've seen it in college sports.
3:17
You've probably even seated in Friday night lights.
3:21
Your life and business work the same way.
3:24
Even the toughest, most driven leaders
3:29
a support system that keeps them steady.
3:31
It helps them spark new ideas
3:33
and fires them up when the going gets tough.
3:35
We all have tough times.
3:39
Do they all look the same?
3:41
Does it all feel the same?
3:45
But let me remind you
3:46
when the going gets tough,
3:47
the tough gets going
3:48
and you can do this.
3:49
True strength isn't about going it alone, my friend.
3:52
It's about knowing who's in your corner,
3:54
trusting them and leaning on each other
3:56
to push through roadblocks.
3:58
You may be saying, Kristian,
4:00
it sounds all great.
4:01
I want a team, but honestly,
4:03
I can't trust some of the people around me.
4:09
Maybe you can't find your team
4:11
within the privacy of your own four walls.
4:17
But you still can find a team.
4:20
And you can find strength in that team
4:24
And that's how momentum builds.
4:26
That's how breakthroughs happen.
4:28
I mean, that's honestly why I'm excited
4:30
about opening up Kairos,
4:34
I'm working on it diligently.
4:35
I really, really am.
4:37
We're trying to get that new homepage on there
4:40
so we can have these links
4:41
so we can bring you into the community
4:43
because I don't want stuff out there
4:46
on the real world stage
4:48
called Facebook and Instagram and all of that.
4:50
That's fine if you want to post there.
4:53
But when you come into my community,
4:56
I want to safeguard you as much as I can.
5:00
I can't guarantee 100%.
5:03
But there's no reason why we have to have all of our stuff out there.
5:07
And so by introducing Kairos,
5:08
having that free community allows people to come together
5:11
to support one another.
5:12
That's what we need, right?
5:14
And then when we open up aim, it goes even deeper.
5:17
And that's when you can begin to say,
5:18
oh, I want my huddle.
5:20
I want it to look like this.
5:22
I want my women to come beside me.
5:25
Then possibly you too.
5:27
I don't know what it all looks like.
5:28
We just have to take it one step at a time
5:30
that will lead to miles of greatness.
5:32
I don't have it all worked out,
5:33
but I know God does.
5:35
And I'm telling you, you've got my heart.
5:37
And I'm going to show up like I show up every single day here.
5:42
Creature now is about walking your everyday God's way.
5:45
And it's not about doing it with weakness.
5:49
It's leaning on him.
5:50
Did you know he's part of your team?
5:53
He should be number one in your team, in my opinion.
5:57
And then you have, you don't need 10 or 12,
5:59
like you don't need a football team to huddle up with.
6:02
You may only have one or two people.
6:05
For me, it's my mom.
6:07
I've got a couple close girlfriends
6:09
that I know that if I send them a text
6:11
or give them a phone call,
6:13
I know immediately they're going to respond
6:15
when they can, obviously.
6:17
But I know they're going to be honest with me.
6:19
I know they're going to tell me the truth.
6:21
I may not want to hear that truth,
6:23
but they're going to tell it to me.
6:25
And they're going to be there when I'm happy.
6:27
They're going to be there when I'm sad.
6:29
So they'll smile with me or they'll cry with me.
6:33
And I get that sometimes we don't all have that.
6:36
But I'm telling you, you can find it.
6:40
But the first thing starts with you understanding
6:42
that you've got to stop trying to carry the weight by yourself.
6:48
And maybe you need to start with God again, seriously.
6:53
People say, Kristian, you know, are you always talking to yourself?
6:55
Like you're always on the go and I am driving a lot.
6:58
Right now, I mean, my whole life is on the road.
7:01
It feels like I need an RV.
7:03
Like I should have it.
7:05
It should be a tax deduction.
7:07
Because taking my business on the road, every single thing I do.
7:11
And the people I meet, the people I see,
7:14
and the conversations that I have,
7:17
you can build a huddle no matter where you are,
7:20
no matter your position.
7:22
It doesn't have to be within the privacy of your own four walls.
7:25
And if you want to include me in that huddle, great.
7:28
And some of you I know of, Kristian,
7:30
it's like you're part of my family too.
7:33
Like, I don't take that lightly.
7:35
I pray for you every single day.
7:38
And I lift you up, but I know that God has you,
7:42
even in the toughest of times.
7:45
Even when you're in the frozen tundra,
7:47
without electricity, maybe now it's just coming back on.
7:50
We still have people without power here, down south.
7:55
We've got stuff that just isn't back to full speed.
7:58
We now still have snow on the ground.
8:02
I was just shoveling yesterday.
8:04
And the day before, two and a half to three inches of ice.
8:08
So it was snowing sleep with a little bit of rain,
8:10
not freezing rain, but it was rain.
8:12
And then of course, we're dropping temperatures.
8:14
And it's only been the last two days
8:16
that we've gotten over, you know, 40 degrees,
8:19
really over freezing.
8:20
And every night that drops in the low 20s.
8:23
And so we're freezing.
8:24
So we've got black ice all over again.
8:26
People are slipping and sliding.
8:27
You have to come up my hill on my driveway.
8:30
It's a full u-shape.
8:32
But it's nothing but ice.
8:34
And I'm shoveling it.
8:35
Man, let me tell you.
8:36
I didn't get a whole lot done in two hours,
8:39
but I was exhausted.
8:40
The weight of it was crazy.
8:44
Sometimes we're trying to do everything on our own.
8:49
You can't build your huddle.
8:51
Deepen those trusted connections.
8:54
If I'm included and God's included, great.
8:58
You know you're going to get inspiration and motivation here.
9:01
You know I'm praying for you.
9:02
But you may need someone else too.
9:05
And yes, when aim and chyrus open, great.
9:12
We need to be sharing the load for each other.
9:15
We need to be able to gain that feedback
9:18
and be honest about what is needed in your life
9:21
and in somebody else's.
9:22
Because honestly, it's not always just about you, right?
9:25
You can be someone else's huddleer.
9:28
If that's not a word, I just invented it.
9:30
Maybe I need to look it up on, yeah, I don't know where.
9:33
We'll look it up later.
9:34
I'll Google it later.
9:35
I'm not going to do it now.
9:37
But seriously, a huddleer.
9:38
You got to be a huddleer.
9:41
And give a little more.
9:44
Because when you're doing that, you're showing, hey, I need that too.
9:48
And let me tell you, you may be a huddleer for one person
9:51
or two or three or ten or twenty.
9:53
But that doesn't mean that those people are going to huddle back for you.
10:00
Find the strength in your team.
10:04
Because the score you really want isn't just measured and wins.
10:07
It's not about all the celebration.
10:09
Just it's fabulous.
10:11
But really, honestly, the score that you really want is measured in resilience, growth.
10:18
And the power of coming together, who you are and who you are becoming.
10:23
There's nothing that makes my heart happier, seriously.
10:27
Then hearing someone say, you know what?
10:29
I've been through a really rough season.
10:31
And they tell me their life story within five to ten minutes.
10:34
Most of the time this happens in a store on the side, like on a sidewalk,
10:40
outside of a store or something like that.
10:42
It's usually a stranger.
10:43
I mean, I have a lot of conversations with people who aren't strangers.
10:46
But in this circumstance, I'm telling you, this is a stranger.
10:50
And they let me know that I just, I don't understand, but there's something about it.
10:55
After eight, nine months of wrestling with all of this now,
10:59
I'm on the other side and I can see.
11:02
But when I was in the middle of the mess, I couldn't see.
11:07
So you've got to honor who you are and then know that you still are becoming.
11:14
You're not stagnant.
11:16
There's growth to be had.
11:20
So let me ask you this question.
11:21
When was the last time you came together,
11:23
whether for yourself or someone else?
11:26
Maybe it was in a tragic situation,
11:29
a loss of a family member or a good friend, a medical diagnosis,
11:34
a struggle at school with your child.
11:37
Maybe even a struggle with wedding plans or grandbabies.
11:46
Maybe it's more so of, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
11:51
I don't know who I am.
11:53
My marriage failed or it feels like it's failing.
11:56
What is it for you?
11:58
But in the midst of all of that,
12:00
when was the last time you said, I want to be a part of a huddle.
12:03
I want to be a huddleer.
12:05
I want to be there for someone else.
12:08
Because when we're there for someone else,
12:10
it's amazing what happens to us.
12:15
So it's not always just about calling people to your team,
12:19
but also being willing to be a part of somebody else's team.
12:23
Let God be your quarterback.
12:26
And then build the rest around.
12:30
I mean, imagine how that would change things.
12:33
You're literally playing the Super Bowl of your life, right?
12:36
It's the game of life.
12:38
That's your Super Bowl.
12:39
And you get to get up and do it every single day.
12:42
So build your huddle because strength isn't a solo game.
12:51
I love you so very much.
12:52
I cannot wait to see you on the other side,
12:54
blessing tags and lots and lots of love.
12:56
We'll talk to you real soon.
12:57
Have a glorious blessed day.
