For awhile there, I allowed a "few" to shake my confidence. " Sell that horse" they said. " Is riding really so important to you that you would continue to ride "that" horse?" I allowed a "few" to shake my confidence to the core of my inner being. They shook it so hard. I started to wonder if I was even worthy enough to be a human being. After that accident, I did not start out insecure. I just wanted to carry on and get better. Huge set backs came in 2009, but I fought through them. Confidence was non existent by Jan 2011. I am confident again. Can confidence be taken? yes, if you allow it. Someone can always shake you. It is up to us, to keep up iron clad boundaries. Dont ever allow anyone to make a joke of you. Those who do not wish you well, show them the door and then lock it. Esco and I have swung hard through a cement wall. And we have reached the other side. It can be done. It absolutely can be done. We are coming back at life. Many many thanks to a spouse, horse and Coach. Dont give up!......never give up. ♥
