At some point, we think sharing our stories will make everything better, but embracing vulnerability is harder to do than to say.

So in order to maintain the facade of perfection, we get stuck (or claim to be), because it’s easier not to do than to do.

Now some would eventually suggest that the mindset is key to moving forward. But how can you move forward when you’re only looking backward? Something that might have been a comeback, continues to be a setback.

When will this nightmare end?

At what point can you take the plunge toward your dreams?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Get G.U.T.S.Y.!

Most of the time, we want to know what the results will be before we even try.

There is no guarantee in life. But doesn’t that make your dreams and goals more worthwhile?

Get G.U.T.S.Y.!

G – Get Started

Taking the first step is crucial. Often, fear and overthinking can hold us back from pursuing our dreams. It takes guts to overcome those barriers and get started. Start with a small action or task that will set you on the path towards your goal. Breaking the inertia and initiating momentum is key to progress.

U – Unwavering Belief

Believe in yourself and your dreams wholeheartedly. Cultivate unshakable self-confidence and a firm belief that you can achieve what you set out to do. Even in the face of challenges and setbacks, it takes guts to stay committed and unwavering in your belief. Trust in your abilities and keep faith in your vision. Believe in who you are becoming!

T – Take Risks

Taking calculated risks is essential for growth and success. It takes guts to step outside of your comfort zone and embrace uncertainty. Be willing to explore uncharted territories, try new approaches, and seize opportunities that come your way. Embrace challenges as chances to learn and grow, knowing that calculated risks often lead to extraordinary achievements.

S – Stay Persistent

Persistence is the key to overcoming obstacles and achieving long-term goals. It takes guts to keep going when faced with setbacks, rejections, or slow progress. Stay committed to your dreams and put in consistent effort. Develop resilience, learn from failures, and keep pushing forward with determination and endurance, even in the face of adversity.

Y – Yield to Growth

A “Gutsy” individual recognizes the importance of continuous personal and professional growth. Yielding to growth requires embracing a mindset of learning, open-mindedness, and adaptability. It takes guts to acknowledge areas for improvement, seek feedback, and actively pursue opportunities for personal growth and development. By being open to learning and embracing new challenges, you can achieve remarkable growth that propels you towards your goals and dreams.

Harness the courage to step out of your comfort zone, challenge your limits, and unlock your full potential.

“Within you lies the power to transform your dreams into reality. The possibilities are endless when you have the courage to take that first step. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!” ~ Kristianne Wargo

Remember, your journey doesn’t require you to have all the answers or know exactly where you’re heading. It only demands that you take that leap of faith, trust in yourself, and embrace the beauty of the unknown.

Life is a magnificent adventure waiting to unfold. Instead of allowing uncertainty to hinder your dreams and goals, remember that you don’t need to know everything before you get there. Embrace vulnerability, embody a growth mindset, and cultivate a sense of adventure. Take the plunge, and you’ll discover that the journey itself is where the magic lies.

As Kristianne Wargo beautifully puts it, “Embrace the unknown, for it is within the unknown that extraordinary dreams come to life.”

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
