To move forward, sometimes it's not what else we need to do but rather what we need to STOP DOING. I hope you have your best year yet. The fact is we all face obstacles. The decision we have in every one of those obstacles is how are we going to respond. So in today's episode I talk about my shift heading into 2025 and within that shift... something I dont mention is my quest for community. I've learned we cannot do this alone. So I will do my best to build a community you can enjoy here on YouTube as well as within our private communities I invite you to join us. Horsemanship Focused Community- https://cavvy.coltonwoodshorsemanship.com/ Horse Business Builders Community- https://horsebusinessbuilders.com/ In this video we go over decisions and their implications on life changes. We talk about the importance of cutting away excess rather than adding more tasks, emphasizing that every 'yes' to one thing is a 'no' to another. I go over my own experiences and decisions made for 2025, including stepping back from setting traditional goals to allow for more flexibility and trust in divine guidance.
