0:00Episode 3992. Embrace your place. Moms, it's time to rediscover, rejuvenate and renew whom you are in mind, body, and spirit. Welcome to Create Your Now, Your Best Selfie, the show that help you do just that. Here's your host, Certified Life Coach, Personal Trainer, and Nutritionist, Christian Wargo. At Gabby Day, I hope you're having a fabulous week. You know what? We are one more day closer to the weekend. Are you counting down? It is technically Friday, Jr. Yes, it is, and maybe you're doing your happy dance because you cannot wait. Well, no but a time then to embrace your place. For those of you who are brand new to Create Your Now, welcome to this incredible family. I'm so delighted of your presence. If you already had the opportunity to go ahead on over to CreateYourNow.com where you can learn more and sign up for the Kids' Newsletter. They keep it simple strategy, everyday solutions, to live, love, and impact. All right, so bear with me here,

1:02because my voice is still a little bit up and down and all around. I'm trying to give it everything I have. Every once in a while it sounds like does she even have breath because I'm trying to push through the sound, but I must say I'm feeling great honestly. It just sounds horrible. So if your ears can stand it, I appreciate it. I appreciate you listening because you know your family here. And I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You know, we are where we are because you keep showing up. You keep wanting to go out and impact the world that you touch in a different way. And that's empowering. And I don't think we stop long enough to hear that ourselves and say, gosh, what I'm doing does make a difference. Yes, what you're doing does make a difference. Don't give up because life's whirlwind can make your current circumstances feel like a cage. Yeah, you think you put your, you know, your little four-legged furry friend when you go, bye-bye in their little kennel, right? But now you're like, no, I feel like I'm in that kennel.

2:06Maybe you're stuck in that job that's draining you. Maybe you're carrying the weight of past mistakes. I should have done this. I should have done that. If I would have, this might have happened. Or maybe you're just overwhelmed by what feels like an impossible mountain ahead. Listen up. You are made for more, not by chance, not by accident, but by choice, God's choice. And it's on purpose. And for a purpose that's bigger than any setback or trial, trying to hold you back. Embrace your place. My friend, none of your circumstances or situations defines you. It doesn't. You're worth your future. You know, if you were on the fortune 500, you know how they put up all the figures of Taylor Swift is worth this much. Oprah Winfrey is worth this much. Let me tell you, you're worth more than everybody combined because nobody is you, but you. You're worth in your future, your purpose. It's not dictated by where you are. It's not dictated by

3:10your job or your circumstances. You are who you are because of where you are in your life, who you are in this moment and who you are becoming. When you embrace your place, you are claiming the life you're in. That doesn't mean you're staying there. But you say, wait, I'm going to own my story without shame or fear. And you're going to use this moment as your battlefield, not your prison. You see that kennel that you feel like you might be caged in? No, you're not that. You're a conqueror. You get to say enough is enough. And then when fear whispers that you're not enough, you're not good enough or your past failures want to chain you to the ground, remind yourself you get to rise. You get to rise. You get to rise. You get to show up filled with whatever you have today, even if it's just a sliver of courage. And sometimes that's all we've got.

4:17Joy and strength don't come from perfect circumstances. They come from faith and what God is doing behind the scenes for you when the world seems chaotic. When you have no control, God is always in control. Embrace your place. And yeah, I get it. Life is messy. That snooze button, if you could hit it for weeks at a time and say, if I could just hang out within the privacy of my own four walls, why don't you have to go out? I can just have Amazon and Uber Eats and all these people just deliver to me. I don't have to worry about the kids. I don't have to worry about my finances. If I could just stay hidden for a little bit, yeah, I know. Sometimes you just want to hide under those covers and block out the calling on your life snooze. Lord, let me just push snooze. I've been there too. But when you're called for more, you don't have to do it perfectly.

5:19You just have to do it anyway. You get to do it anyway. You get to conquer your day with a smile, not because everything is easy, but because your heart is full, anchored in knowing, you are exactly where you're meant to be doing exactly what you're meant to do in this moment, in this time to be present. You are a conqueror. Let that soak in for a minute. Say it out loud with me. I am a conqueror. I am an overcomer. I am a conqueror. I am an overcomer. Life may have you down, but it doesn't have to have you out. So stand tall today. Rise up. Embrace your place fully, fully with grit, grace, and gratitude. This moment is your launch pad, not your limit. You can do this. I promise you, you can do this

6:22because you were created for it. So now get up, show up, conquer this day, because it's time to embrace your place. Go in peace, be present, be incredible, be you. I love you so very much. I cannot wait to see you on the other side. Blessing tags and lots and lots of love. We'll talk to you real soon. Have a glorious blessed day. Hey, it's almost the weekend. We'll talk to you soon.
