Here’s what I learned from the 2024 NFR ✨
Like Leslie and Gus, you can be gritty. When you make it to the big stage, your goal is within reach and things don’t quite go your way, you can keep your composure. You keep showing up and you stay confident. Perseverance never fails.
Like Carlee and Sly, what’s a little pain, right? You’ve worked so hard to get here. You can’t let your opportunity pass you by over things that are temporary. Resilience is a mindset, you can be resilient too.
Like Andrea and Benny, know when to safety up. Not every run needs to be the fastest it can be. Trust the process, do your thing quietly and be consistent. Consistency equals success.
Like Donna Kay and Valor, advocate for yourself. Even if the world is watching, take a step back when you need to. No, you’re not giving up. No, you’re not waving a white flag. You’ll be back.
Like Hailey and Sister, you can be selfless. Even when it’s right in front of you, so close you can taste it, you can put your horses well being over anything a title would’ve given you. They don’t owe it to you but you dang sure owe it to them.
And like Kassie and Jarvis, sometimes all you can do is hang on. You push through, you cry in the alley way and wipe your tears, then let God, His angels and your horse carry you through. Lean on Him whenever you need 🪽
