Do you give the horse his strength? Do you clothe his neck in a flowing mane? Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing and charges into the fray. He does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side Along with the flashing spear and shield. In frenzied excitement, he eats up the ground. He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.

"Why are you so intent on racing death!?" "Because I have the better horse!"
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air . . . Up, up the long, delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or ever eagle flew — And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. – John Gillespie McGee Jr. Companion Page: High Flight Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tolivewithhonor To Live With Honor Trailer: Credits: Kristin Kuns Kaleb Bruza Buffer music: Council – “Rust to Gold” Soundtrack: Audioslave – “Show Me How to Live” U2 – “Where the Streets Have No Name”

“It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly. Who errs. Who comes short again and again because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions. Who spends himself in a worthy cause. Who at the best, in the end knows the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt “Man in the Arena” Companion Page: The Horse in the Arena Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tolivewithhonor To Live With Honor Trailer: Credits: Kristin Kuns Riley Helton Trinity Pencis Buffer music: Council – “Rust to Gold” Soundtrack: Mannheim Steamroller – “Fanfare for the Common Man” The Cars – “Magic” Garth Brooks – “Standing Outside the Fire”

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is not rose petals and rainbows, nor a flourish of poetry on picnic blanket in the Victorian countryside. Love is a ruthless equalizer between “is” and “should.” Love is the hand that coerces our conscience at gun point to rebuild bridges we worked hard to burn. Love cracks shells and lets in light.

Don't pray for a miracle. Pray for courage. If a miracle comes... you'll need it.
“All the tales of miracles, with which the Old and New Testament are filled, are fit only for impostors to preach and fools to believe.” – Thomas Paine Miracles aren’t what you think they are.

Distilled to its purest form, the bond between a horse and his human is this: the human’s brain lets the horse know he has nothing to fear; the horse’s heart returns the favor.
“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” – Plato Fear is a liar. It seeps into the cracks between thoughts and bends them just enough to make reality worth fleeing. When a horse freezes or spooks at a plastic bag fluttering in the wind, it seems justifiable to chastise him for such a dumb response to something so innocuous. But… imagine what the horse thinks when we react irrationally to the esoteric fears that send us reeling in terror. “Distilled to its purest form, the bond between a horse and his human is this: the human's brain lets the horse know he has nothing to fear; the horse's heart returns the favor.” Companion Page: Fear Veteran Service Org: https://www.equest.org/ www.lastresortrecovery.com upward-transitions.org To Live With Honor Trailer: Credits: Kristin Kuns Buffer music: Council – “Rust to Gold” Soundtrack: Guns ‘n’ Roses – “Welcome to the Jungle” Eric Bibb – “The Cape” Black Crows – “Hard to Handle”

“The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. Shadow is the means by which bodies display their form. The forms of bodies could not be understood in detail but for shadow.” – Leonardo da Vinci Narcissism is a result of the weak and broken trying to protect the positive image others hold of them. And lies are the best tactic in that defense. Because it is a lie. But buried inside the bundle is actually the most insidious lie of all, the lie the narcissist tells himself that is the platform for all others: that he is truly awful. If he did not believe this, he would have no need to lie, nothing to hide, nothing for which to compensate. Light and shadow.

There are millions of resources out there for horse owners seeking to better improve their horsemanship. I recognized right away, an untapped market of people who know absolutely nothing about horses, own them, and are questing with thirsty minds how to *properly* know nothing about horses while owning them. I locked that market down to a one-idiot monopoly. Follow me for more disastrous recipes.

Greatness resides in the world all around us in unlikely places–places we despise, resent, regret, and choose to overlook–places we hide away from, places we don’t want great things to come from. Including within ourselves. But greatness exists outside and beyond the consent of opinion, or fear, or any other thing that would choose to fence it in. Greatness exists by its own accord and simply is. It is only by way of a chance, that it is revealed. Including within ourselves.
