Set a high standard. That’s what Jane always says. Strive for excellence. It doesn’t matter if it is excellence in making the bed or writing a novel. Do it the very BEST that you can!
Why? Because it makes you feel good inside. You have no one to impress but yourself.
Self-esteem is earned. You enhance self-esteem when you’re proud of what you do.
Pick one task today and do it the very best that you can, whether it be cleaning the stalls, or washing a window, or practicing a leg yield. Do it with your full attention, and your intention of doing it with 100% of your effort and concentration.
Visualize the perfect result first, then act. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to achieve your goal.
Today is your day! Take it! It is YOURS! Let’s do something with this day!
Jane likes to talk about the power of attitude. As a horse, my attitudes are pretty stable, unless of course dinner is late. But attitude is something you really can control. You REALLY can! You just have to make a decision.
When is someone old? There’s an idea out there that, for humans, “old” is fifteen years older than you are. For horses, it’s five years older. I’m fifteen, so “old” to me is twenty. To a fifteen year old human, 30 would seem old.
Happiness. What is that, exactly? Is it winning a blue ribbon? Is it winning the lottery? Is it falling in love? Or does it take some kind of magic formula to achieve?
