5 of the Best Ways to Celebrate Halloween with your Horse

When you fall off...get back on your horse!
We have all heard this mantra…do you believe it? How does falling from a horse translate into falling in life?
Horse World
Having heard this phrase over and over when I was young, I now embrace this mantra. Growing up, I had plenty of falls from horses. Unless you had something seriously broken (minor brakes might be excluded), we immediately climbed back on our horses. We then repeated the activity prior to the fall (hopefully leaving out the fall the second time)
Why did we do this? Getting back on immediately counteracts a fear that develops. You will find it harder to overcome that fear the more time passes and the more that our brains relive that fear over and over.
And, I always found that after a fall, I definitely rode better. Perhaps this stems from a heightened awareness of my body position. In other words…after a fall, my heels were definitely pointed down!
Working World
Failure (or falling) becomes part of a journey that makes us better. Steve Jobs wouldn’t have led a technology revolution if he weren’t fired from Apple and then brought back latter.
I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me
Now, think of how Apple has changed all of our lives. None of this would be possible without Steve Jobs’ journey
We should never penalize failure, but instead embrace it. When I or my team fail, I always look for what worked well and why did we fail. Once we learn why, we can push towards success!
The moral of the story...get back on that horse!
