Your heart keeps you connected to what matters, and your hustle pushes you forward when the world demands more.

Zig Ziglar said it so well, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily.”

“Motivation alone won’t carry you. You need heart—purpose rooted deep—and the relentless hustle that refuses to quit, day after day.” ~ Kristianne Wargo

The K.I.S.S. ~ Get back up!

But even the fiercest heart and the strongest hustle can wear thin without something greater holding you steady. That’s where faith steps in. Max Lucado reminds us that God’s presence isn’t a distant idea but a living, breathing strength in our weakness.

Isaiah 40:31 says it plainly: “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.”

This isn’t just a blanket to make you feel calm, cozy, and comfortable. It’s an unshakable promise.

Let me wrap this up with a story. A woman I know was overwhelmed to the point of collapse during a busy holiday season—family needs, work pressures, personal goals slipping away.

One evening, exhausted and ready to quit, she closed her eyes and whispered a prayer for strength. The next morning, she got back up, not because the stress vanished, but because she remembered her purpose and felt the quiet assurance of something bigger than herself.

She didn’t just get through the holidays; she showed up fully alive, every step fueled by heart and hustle, carried by faith.

“Every step you take is fueled by heart and hustle, and carried by faith. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!” ~ Kristianne Wargo

This season, don’t settle for survival. You are made for more. You’re meant to conquer with spirit intact and eyes locked on your dreams. When you fall, get back up. And keep soaring.

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