Everyone is different, and that is ok

We all have different goals. Different dreams. Different body shapes and sizes. Not everyone is a size 2 equitation rider or a sub 3-hour marathon runner. And that is ok if you are or aren’t. What isn’t ok is comparing ourselves to those that are not the same as we are. What needs to be ok is that we become the best version of ourselves. Our focus point needs to be ourselves.

We all have to begin somewhere. When we are amongst each other we are surrounded by those of different seasons and paths in each one’s life. Sometimes we have a set back where we have to take the time to reset and begin again. During one season, we may be passionate about something, but passionate about something else the next. We will also meet new people that share the same passion as may even have the same common goal. We need to learn to adapt and be ok with the new changes and challeges in life as we strive to become the best we can be.

When working on our fitness and goals, we need to figure out what works for us, individually. Your weekly long run may be 2 miles but your best friend’s 12 miles. Your equestrian goal may be to have the best equitation for possible but your best friend may just want to feel confident in the saddle and be able to fit into their suit. You may want to look toned and femine but your best friend is aiming to compete in competitions. And those are all ok. The bottom line is, your goals and workouts should be geared towards you individually and not as an entirity. We are not cookie cutters or built from the same mold so our workouts shouldn’t be either. We just need to be there for each other an to push each other to be the best versions of ourselves.
