Our own fears prevent us from achieving the goals that would lead us to our dream life.<\/strong> Self-belief and having the confidence to try things, to start things, to change things, will see us move forward to what we want.<\/p>\n

When people tell us that we’re not good enough, it makes it hard to push through to what we want – but it is our own lack of self-belief<\/em> that makes it impossible<\/em> to achieve our goals.<\/p>\n

As a child I was very shy and afraid to try things, or put myself out there and perhaps look stupid, or worse – fail. Learning to ride horses helped me feel like I could take “brave” actions.<\/strong> The achievement of riding and training horses in a non-verbal partnership is a skill to be proud of. It is a skill that can be improved upon for a lifetime. It has taught me about responsibility<\/em>, dedication<\/em>, kindness<\/em> and empathy<\/em>. It has lead me to experience ambition, joy and passion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Riding horses has an element of risk. At one point, after many bad experiences, I became afraid.<\/strong> I could get on a horse and ride under tuition, but inside I was terrified of all the things that could go wrong. My horse at the time was young, with little experience under saddle when I started riding her. I realised that I had to find a way to give her confidence, despite struggling with my own!<\/strong> I started again from scratch with the tiniest of steps so that every day we both had confidence and a good experience. It was a long process, but one I needed to take.<\/p>\n

Since regaining my confidence, I was able to start my own homebred boy completely on my own. I was able to give him enough confidence as a riding horse that he was able to go on to giving confidence to a novice rider. It is the achievement I am most proud of <\/strong>– something that I had never even dreamed or planned of doing. It made me realise that I am capable of more than I limit myself to believe.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some of us are lucky enough to have lots of self-confidence and can leap ahead quickly. Others, like me need to take lots of small steps and build on our self-confidence slowly. But having self-belief makes achieving things possible.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
