Deepening Our Relationship With What We Already Have

It’s easy to feel in our lives that something is lacking – we’re not enough, we don’t have enough, and things will always be the way they are.

So we look outside of ourselves and our situations for validation or something new beyond what we already have. The quest is insatiable.

However, there’s a different mindset called sufficiency, which is a perspective from the inside out that views things in a much different light.

Sufficiency believes that regardless of our situation, we are enough, we have enough, and the possibilities are limitless when we appreciate and focus on the resources we already have.

Those resources include who we are within: our personal talents, values, and abilities, as well as our perspectives and what we’ve already learned. Other personal resources include the magnificence of the horse(s) we are blessed to spend time with, as well as the fantastic people who have our backs, including family, friends, and mentors.

Getting ‘better’ in our riding is not about achieving some external ‘more’ validated by others, but instead, deepening our relationship with what we already have: with ourselves, our horses, and the people we cherish.

Through the lens of appreciation and a desire to delve deeper, we can continually expand our experiences and skills within the abundance of our own lives. New and unforeseen opportunities often arise when we least expect them.

Deepening our connections within ourselves, with horses, and with people is one of the richest experiences of our lives.

It’s a journey of the soul that’s rich right now.

In this moment, you’re enough. Your horse is enough, and so much more is to come in the most meaningful and fulfilling ways.

Enjoy the adventure of deepening your relationship with what you already have.
