Tash’s Training Tip - Getting it Right So if you are doing your best with what you have in the present moment, and you are excited about your opportunities to develop, how can you be anything but pumped, excited and thrilled to be out there riding every day?!?! Why would you, or how could you even have time for, be bothered with or entertain the notion of “I’m not good enough yet”?
“I can’t understand it right now, but I will” “I shouldn’t do that right now, but I will” “I can’t do that level right now, but I will” Be ok with the rider you are T O D AY ! B e o k w i t h t h e progress you have already made TODAY, be accepting,
I’m sure none of you have but you know of someone that does. Not you of course! :) But others that have used the excuses: “I don’t know enough” “I can’t do it” “I can’t understand it” “I shouldn’t” “I can’t do that level yet” “I’ll never be good enough for that/at that” Now with all those excuses all I can say is “YES”! But add the words - right now but I will. “I don’t know enough right now, but I will” “I can’t do it right now, but I will”
tolerant and nice to you TODAY! I’m not saying don’t strive, work, demand for more! You definitely should! I push for more than I can even conceive from myself, my clients and my team every day. But I am also accepting of “my limit for TODAY is…”!! A fabulous quote is “yesterday’s efforts will get you yesterdays results” if you want more results you need to put in more effort. This is where CANI fits in perfectly. Do your best today.
And tomorrow make it better, and continue and continue and continue forever! Constant and Never-ending Improvement. Now a lot of people hear that and say oh my god Tash, isn’t that exhausting? You never can stop, you never can relax. I laugh! Why would I want to stop? Why would I want to relax in my business and stop giving amazing value and experience to my clients? Why would I want to relax on my horse and get the same mediocre scores for the rest of my competition career? Relaxing is for the beach! It’s not for everyday life! Mediocrity is exhausting. Settling for average is tiring. CANI is invigorating, exciting and means my life is constantly different and challenged. If you are not growing you are dying. So I choose to grow. What do you choose?
To Your Success,
Natasha
