Enhance your Horsemanship with the Power of Now
In my Ebook on how to teach your horse to load himself in the trailer I mention a few movies where they use the Power of Now
. When I wrote that, I didn't know about the movie Peaceful Warrior". Because if I did, I would have devoted a whole chapter to this movie and the message in it. That's why I'm writing this post about it instead. I know from experience that the Power of Now can be extremely powerful. Imagine what our Horsemanship could be like when we could tap into the Power and Wisdom of being in the Now.
Peaceful Warrior' is about a gymnastic with a lot of talent, but with a very big ego. The movie shows how his ego gets in his way of his goals and then he meets his new mentor. A master of Being in the Now and tapping into the wisdom and power that's available for everybody.
If there's anything that horses are better at than us and what we could learn from them is: living in the moment!!! Whenever we think, we are living in the past or in the future and block of the power and wisdom that comes with intuition. Thinking is just a habit, a very very very strong habit. And it blinds us. Thinking' is the ego trying to be a big shot. Trying to claim all the credit for what you have achieved, where the ego actually only limits us.
I watched it a third time last night and wrote down all the life lessons and quotes I noticed. I am sure I missed a few and they might mean something else to you than to me. The main reason why I love sharing these, it is to keep myself on track and learn to master them myself.
Life Lessons and quotes from Peaceful Warrior:
Knowledge is not the same as wisdom wisdom is doing it
What does happiness has to do with anything? Everything
Many people live a lifetime without ever being awake
Service is the highest purpose
You need to start asking better questions
Slow down, you might actually taste something
Others want you to believe their answers. Find your own answers from the inside
You're not what you think take out the trash, empty your mind
"Are you out of your mind?" "yes, and it's taken a lifetime of practise"
There's never nothing going on
The only thing that matters is this moment Here, Now
Sometimes you have to lose your mind before you come to your senses
Learn to meditate in every action
All you have is right Now
Ego shouts: "what would you be without me?!"
Not knowing is a great realisation
Emotions are natural, but don't let them rule you
Find your answers from within
There are no ordinary moments
You'll never be better or less than anybody else
Be conscious about your choices and responsible for your actions (including your thoughts)
The ones that are the hardest to love, are the ones that need it the most
Death isn't sad the sad thing is, most people don't live at all
Even if you exactly what you want, you'll still suffer, because you can't hold on to it
It's the journey that brings us happiness, not the destination
Life has three rules Life is a mystery don't wast time trying to figure it out
Keep a sense of humour especially about yourself, it's a strength beyond all messure
Nothing ever stays the same
Where are you? Here!
What time is it? Now!
What are you? This moment!
The movie sure is a must see!! Watch a few video's on
my blog.
