Listen "Episode #21 - Competition Without Combat"
Episode Synopsis
Consider, for a moment, what it might be like to be truly competitive, but without a combative edge or drive to dominate. Is it possible? Competition can give us so many great things: community, physical and mental challenges, and goal posts by which to measure our progress - it can bring out our best and showcase our preparation, dedication, and talent. The darker side of competition is when we are motivated by comparison, rather than inspiration, causing us to turn against our fellow competitors, our horses, and even ourselves. How many of us can strive for high levels of excellence while maintaining a positive, emotionally balanced energetic space? And how many of us can do it with the eager, focused engagement of our equine partners as well?When we have a clear sense of self, our values, and our purpose, we come to realize that competition is rarely about others; it’s about our personal journey, our commitment to growth, and remaining in integrity, regardless of external circumstances. Competition becomes a test of character - a pursuit of goals, not rivals.Podcast Participants:Shea StewartTik MaynardJessica White PlumeDaniel DauphinBarbara SchulteKerri Lake
