parabola

A spoken-word anthem inspired by David Deida’s classic “The Way of the Superior Man.”
This piece calls men to live with purpose, integrity, and presence — to stand firm in love’s fire and serve from their deepest truth.
It’s a rhythm, a meditation, and a challenge — for every man walking the edge between freedom and devotion.

Lyrics & Concept: Jonathan Jenkins
Theme: Purpose • Presence • Polarity • Love • Freedom

“Stand in the fire, don’t turn away —
Hold to your purpose, come what may.”

Invocation of the masculine

Why does healthy living feel like climbing a mountain for some while seeming like a gentle stroll for others? It can feel downright unfair. If only the journey to wellness came easy for everyone. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t—and it won’t. Because life is a series of choices, and every choice pushes you down one path or another—you get to decide. However, what happens when the hardest part is showing up? Yet, the hardest part for many isn’t the workout, the meal prep, or the “healthy habits” themselves. It is about showing up. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .    Think about it. You’ll move heaven and earth for your spouse, your kids, your career. You’ll tackle whatever challenges come your way to support others. But when it comes to standing in front of the mirror and taking action for yourself, sometimes all you see is exhaustion, frustration, or even tears. No fire. No fight. Healthy living isn’t just about calories in and calories out. For a lot of people, it’s a real battle—a mental and emotional war you didn’t sign up for. You gather your tools: meal plans, workout apps, motivational podcasts. But often, before you even start, defeat has already crept in. So, the question becomes: how do you get over yourself? How do you find a way to show up for the person looking back at you in that mirror so you can show up stronger for those you love? The K.I.S.S. ~ Champion yourself!   Here are three practical things you can do to start showing up for yourself in your health journey:   Break It Down to Micro-Actions Big goals are intimidating. “I want to lose 30 pounds” or “I’m going to finally be consistent with exercise” can feel paralyzing. Instead, identify the smallest possible action you can take today. It might be as simple as drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning or putting on your workout shoes. The point is to create momentum. Real example: Sarah couldn’t keep up with hour-long workouts, so she started walking 5 minutes a day around her block. That small win built confidence and eventually led to 30-minute walks and beyond. The feeling: Initially awkward and slow. Over time, empowering. This is your “showing up” muscle flexing.   Reframe the Story You Tell Yourself Often, the battle is internal. The mirror reflects not just your body but your harsh self-judgment. Reframe that internal dialogue. Instead of “I’m too weak to do this” say, “I’m learning what works for me.” Jenna spent years hating her “failures” to stick to diets. When she shifted her mindset to curiosity—“What can this tell me about what I truly enjoy?”—her effort shifted from punishment to exploration. That transition feels uncomfortable; it’s rewiring the brain, but it’s necessary.   Anchor Yourself to Your Why, Then Make It Visible When motivation wanes, you forget why you started. Write down your real reasons: for energy to play with your kids, to feel confident in your skin, to live longer for your family. Place that note where you’ll see it daily—on the fridge, bathroom mirror, phone wallpaper. Real example: Paul put his kids’ photos on his treadmill and told himself every step was for their future. Some days, it didn’t work—he still didn’t want to run. But the reminder nudged him to lace up anyway. Transitioning sounds like discipline wearing down resistance, brick by brick.   Remember: your health is your wealth. Taking care of your mind, body, and spirit isn’t selfish—it’s the foundation for being the person your loved ones need. Showing up for yourself is the hardest battle, but it’s the one worth fighting every single day. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up. So, what’s your micro-action for today? What story will you rewrite? What note will you place in your world as a visible promise? Start there—and build from it. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   &nbsp;...

How often do we actually slow down in order to speed up? It’s a simple question, but the answer rarely comes easy. Our lives move with a relentless pace—filled with endless to-do lists, deadlines, and digital distractions. But what if the key to gaining momentum wasn’t charging forward with more force, but rather pausing long enough to breathe deeply, to chase butterflies, to watch the sunset, or to simply stare at the stars? In the wake of your day, start with a smile! Imagine for a moment slowing down just enough to truly see the world around you. Maybe, just maybe, life would stop feeling so impossible. The weight of desperation might ease. In the wake of your day—the moments trailing after the chaos—start with a smile. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .    I know how simple that sounds. It’s almost cliché. But here’s the brutal truth: very few people actually wake up with a smile on their face. Studies show that nearly 55% of adults report waking up feeling stressed or anxious rather than refreshed or happy. We rush straight from slumber into the grind, conditioned to brace ourselves for the challenges ahead rather than greet the day with warmth. But what happens when you take that silly frown and turn it upside down? Oops—there comes a smile.&nbsp;You might feel a flicker of awkwardness at first, like you’re pretending. But that smile does more than change your facial muscles. It changes your mood, your mindset, even your energy. And that ripple effect doesn’t stop with you; it reaches out to everyone you meet. The K.I.S.S. ~ Start with a smile!   A smile is one of the easiest acts of defiance against a world that demands hustle and burnout. It’s a small, silent rebellion that says, “I will find peace here. I will choose joy.” It shifts tension, softens corners, and opens doors. So as you move through your day, in the wake of its storms and victories, start with that smile. Not because everything is perfect, but because you deserve to carry a little light with you—even if it’s just a grin. Try it tomorrow morning before you check your phone or dive into your inbox. See what happens when the day begins with something as simple as a smile. It might just be the reset button you didn’t know you needed. And if that feels impossible today, remember this is a practice, not a magic trick. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. In the wake of your day, start with a smile.  In the Wake of Your Day by Kristianne Wargo When the sun spills gold and your breath feels too fast, pause— let the moments gather like dew on the edges of a quiet morning. Chase the butterfly’s wild dance, watch how the light folds slowly into the arms of the evening, and somewhere, beneath the vast, unspoken sky, a smile curls like a secret on the lips of time. Not forced, not borrowed— but born from the soft courage to be present, right here, right now. In the wake of your day, where the rush unwinds, choose the grace of a smile— a small, fierce hope that kindles the dark and asks only this: Will you begin again? "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   &nbsp; #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
