We need to focus on the bigger picture of not wanting to be perfect and breaking ourselves down by not believing in ourselves but working on ourselves to take those lessons learned to build progression every day to reach our goals.

Be proven today and every day by consistently pouring your heart into your works and completing them.

“Life moves fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

The best advice I have ever received was to “Take things one day at a time and appreciate where you are now in life.”

“No one really prepares you for how fast these 10 years go,” she tells young showmen.  “Soak it all in and try to be in as many events as you can. If you don’t have the best hat for that year, just go and enjoy the time. Because it really was the highlight of my summer.”

Know that when purchasing a Limousin project, you are not just getting an animal, you are entering a network of people that want to help you succeed.

Encouragement can provide people with strength to look ahead and reach for their next goal. Instead of living for ourselves, we should all work at being the person that the world needs us to be.

Change – it is inevitable, and it is against human nature to accept it. Change is not defined as an event, but it is defined as a psychological experience and that is what makes it so difficult to accept. Change is always inevitable.

Now I’m wrapping up my first year on the board and have loved every second of it. So, if I had any piece of advice to give a junior, it would be to step out of your comfort zone. Join that judging team, be the friend, take the leap. You never know what life is going to throw your way. When you have the chance, take it. It might be the best decision of your life. I hope everyone has a good summer, and I can’t wait to see y’all in Amarillo at the Texas Two Step!
