I remember how I felt when making the decision to enroll in an EFL training program. I was fickle, doubting, worried, nervous and scared. Then, at other times, I would find myself calm, collected, trusting and secure on my path. I knew that it would all work out and that Horse was calling me. I would then step into that energy and trust and allow spirit to support me.
This inconsistent, back and forth approach created a sandpaper effect in my life and ultimately kept me stuck in the same place. I would take an action, and then a few weeks later doubt it or sabotage myself. Then I would need to consider a different action or route, proceed forward, and doubt it again. What did I have to do to break through this wishy-washy approach so I could truly live my purpose and passion?
Two very important pieces had to shift: First, I had to shift my beliefs around my worth. I had to step into the belief that . . . “I have something to contribute to others. I deserve the opportunity to receive the training that would allow me to contribute with integrity.” The second thing I had to shift were my actions. I had to take an action and then STOP playing mental games about my decision.
A person who expands, grows and learns also must have the ability to make a decision about where they are going to put their energy. Then afterward, they must never go back and rework that decision. When we doubt or worry we lose tremendous amounts of energy and personal power. If we follow our gut we will be lead to teachers, horses, and situations that will provide growth and learning. Explore these two questions to help you along your path with Horse:
- What do I believe about my worth and how can I shift that to a higher more confident vibration?
- What is ONE action step I can take today that will move me further along my path?
It is difficult at times to claim one’s passion and purpose, the very thing that will create abundance, joy and expansion. However, only YOU can take that leap of faith.

I think, for me I’m energized by connecting people with others who then are stirred to go to new places and be stretched and challenged, even in the small and simple places. Horses have been my special friends to help others who come to our farm to see their weaknesses and strengths in that moment. Perhaps their passion or desires are stirred to pursue something they haven’t thought about, but being engaged in that moment of connection as the Spirit of God touches them with honesty in their hearts they can change. So, then, I too can be empowered to know my openness to the moment in creation I understand my passion and purpose, no matter how simple, can change people’s hearts.
