Because sitting too long inside your feelings? That’s a trap. Feelings become the puppeteer controlling your actions, and suddenly, progress stalls. Nothing gets done. Dreams collect dust. Goals slip away.

You already know the answer to the classic question: When is the best time to plant a tree? The answer isn’t “someday” or “when conditions are perfect.” It’s now. Yesterday was the best, but today will have to do.

So stop holding yourself where you are. Branch out. Be bold. Knock it out!

Look, life gets meaningful—and even enjoyable—when you’re focused on who you are right now and who you’re becoming. But none of that happens if you stay tangled in the past, stuck in your own failures and feelings.

It’s time to get back up. Be courageous every single day. Knock it out!

The K.I.S.S. ~ Knock it out!

As the Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Strength isn’t just a one-time gift; it’s a daily choice—a decision to punch through the hard stuff rather than fold under it.

And isn’t that exactly what knocking it out means? Declaring to yourself, “I won’t be paralyzed by fear or doubt.” It means stepping into action even when you don’t feel ready. Even when the odds seem stacked against you.

Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, put it plainly: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” Your obstacles don’t block the path—they are the path. Knock ’em down by taking one step forward.

“One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!” ~ Kristianne Wargo

So, what’s your move? Keep sitting and wondering why life is so hard—or grow stronger by knocking it out. It’s your call. But remember this: The only thing standing between you and the life you want to lead is the moment you decide to stand up and act.

Knock it out. Now. Because the best time for your breakthrough is today.

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