Taking risks, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and being ok with learning from a fail to create longer term wins! My smallest Pilon did exactly that at the weekend! Hungry to come off the lead rein and enter the Horse show on his own without the comfort of me being by his side and attached to a lead rope! Situational leadership came into my mind balancing confidence and competence. Maybe both not being exactly where we needed them to be however "giving" it a go and trying made me so proud! Some highs and lows and to be completely transparent some tears! This little man WINS a lot and always comes home with a trophy or two! But life is not like that and when you push yourself it can sometimes feel like you are not winning but actually if you think more deeply about it you have won! You have gained a new experience, you have learned a new lesson and you are more experienced today than you was yesterday! And lastly it is ok to cry if you feel sad and own those emotions! After some time I asked him what is the one thing you are proud of today and he said "that I gave it a go and did not back out". My challenge to you this week is what will you NOT back out of! What lesson will you learn and what long term wins are you preparing for. #learning #bravery #newthings
