The other day when I went to the stable I was thinking of a story told to me by my tranier Celina Harich. It is a talk between a master and a pupil. I don´t remember the exact wording, but it goes something like this:

-Master, master, how long will it take for me to reach my goal?
-It will take you 5 years.
-Oh, but master, master, if I study really hard, how long will it take?
-It will take you ten years.
-Oh, master, master, but if I study really hard and put all my effort into it, how long will it take for me to reach my goal?
-It will take you 15 years.

I was really thinking about this story and how true it is. Sometimes you really have to let go and surrender yourself to what ever comes along. I am trying to ride being connected with my heart and my horse. But in order to do that I need to shut down my ego, the voice in my head that is analysing everything I do on the horse. The voice trying to analyse how it should be, insted of feeling what is actually there. The more I try to analyse the harder the true connection to my heart and the horse will be. Insted I try to breathe deeply and shut down my ego and just feel how I myself and my horse is moving.
