Show Time!

            I just returned from a working trip to Wellington FL.  Its a different world down there. Every road has a bridal path beside it and everywhere you look you see beautiful horses and their riders.  It is a community of horse lovers with various passions, polo, jumping and dressage.  They flock to Wellington to compete against the best, to see where they rank in the group and to train with the top instructors. Being a horse lover, its like going to a Rocky movie, extremely motivating and very exciting.  One thing I noticed while watching the events, is how most of the winners are focused, calm and relaxed.  I am speaking of the riders, trainers and horses. The competition is intense, the amount of money spent is insane and the pressure is thick in the air, but they enter a zen like space and keep it together.  
           When we think of our day to day lives, its really not that much different than what they are facing.  We all have pressures in our lives, the stories and environments are different, but all the same issues are on the line.  We must all keep our health in balance, we must all keep our positive attitudes and we must all stay focused on our goals...but most of all we must all love what we are doing and have fun at this adventure of life!
Have a great adventure this week and and have it in joy!
Here is another of my Horse Wisdom Cards
Show Time!
You’ve been practicing….endlessly.
Now it’s time to trot out there
with the others and see
the progress you’ve made.
This is not a test – it’s a measure
of how far you’ve come.
Most of all, it’s fun!
Feel confident in your power and
strengths and move out towards
the show ring with
your head held high!
