Dare To Dream A Mountain-Top Dream

Someone once said, “There is nothing more POWERFUL than a dream.  Dreams are stronger than heartbreak and pain.  Dreams can’t be beaten or taken away.  Because determination will always overcome disappointment and desire will always triumph over defeat, your impossible dream can become your possible dream.  Dreams fight, they persevere, and they transform you into the skilled, powerful person you want to be to overcome adversity and achieve your goals.”

One of the highlights of turning fifty years old was watching a horse show for the first time in my life during the Boone County Fair, Columbia, Missouri.  Enchanted by the beauty, elegant grace, powerful athleticism, and noble spirit of the American Saddlebred horse and motivated by the horsemanship skills of the riders from all around the country, I decided to learn to ride Saddle Seat.  Guess what!  Six years later, Champion Harlem’s Proud Mary and I won the English Country Pleasure qualifying and Championship classes at the Boone County Fair Horse Show.  I am sharing my message with you today because I dared to dream this moment was possible, and because I was willing to fight grueling battles to get there.

How will this help you to transcend and transform your tribulation into triumph?  Regardless of your personal situations, I challenge you to do whatever it takes to achieve your Mountain-Top Dream.  No matter what age you are, don’t be afraid to explore, discover, and dream!
