Unbridled Personal Power

There's a timeless charm to the white horse, isn't there?

Across centuries, from ancient mythology to the stories the Bible tells, this noble creature has been the ride of choice for heroes and saviors.

In European and Western literature and culture, the concept of a savior or knight in shining armor riding a white horse has had a profound impact for centuries.

It's like the white horse is the universe's stamp of 'epic' on a story.

This isn't just old-time talk. Even now, fairy tales like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White keep the white horse in the spotlight, symbolizing hope and bold rescue missions. It's a powerful vibe that's stuck with us through the ages, making us believe in happy endings and heroes coming just in time.

Yet, something about this has always bugged me

This symbolism, as powerful as it is, if you think about it - speaks to the reliance on external sources of power or connections, someone or something to come to your rescue.

However, my white horse, Escudo - whose full name is Escudo de Armas, which means shield -? represents a different kind of strength—one that emerges from within - your PERSONAL Power.

A power that you wear like you own shield of strength, leadership, resiliency, grace and courage.

As women leaders, the journey can often feel like navigating through uncharted territory.

And then when we come to natural points of reinvention and realignment that are? inevitable with growth - the fear of the unknown or what's next is REAL!

Doubts and fears may swirl around you, making it seem daunting to take that next step.

But there's a profound lesson we can learn from the inspiring connection between women entrepreneurs and Escudo who is the embodiment of grace and strength.

At first glance, when you see some of our videos of his exuberance with me, or with clients, it might appear intimidating to be in the presence of such a magnificent and powerful creature.

The sheer power and energy emanating? from him can make anyone pause.

But here's the truth: he's here to remind you that you are JUST as powerful.

Escudo has a unique ability to bring harmony and connection into the lives of those who share moments with him, realizing that his power is an extension of their own potential.

What initially seemed intimidating became a source of empowerment

If you're at a crossroads or point of reinvention - it's natural to feel intimidated, however those doubts and fears can also become a source of empowerment to and for you.

Escudo teaches you that you don't need anyone to "ride in on a white horse" - and shows us? the real reason we are especially drawn to these beautiful and sometimes mystical white creatures:

You have the strength within to create your own path, shape your own outcomes, and be the hero of your own story.

The symbolism of the white horse, once seen as a savior, may have its place in our tales and legends.

However, the true lesson from my white horse, Escudo de Armas, is this: the real journey, the authentic adventure, begins when you recognize the incredible power that resides within you.

So, step confidently into your own narrative, for you are not just the author but also the hero of your destiny, inspired and empowered by the unwavering grace and strength of a magnificent white horse

I invite you to join me, Escudo and the rest of the Herd at Believe and See Ranch this summer in Vancouver for The Power of The Prosperous Woman - our signature 4 day retreat where you will step into your own power as you shape and design your next chapter.

"Your journey with Escudo de Armas sounds truly inspiring! ?? Aristotle once said, 'Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.' It's incredible to see you embodying self-resilience and empowerment by becoming your own hero. Keep shattering those myths! ????"

回复

Absolutely love how you're redefining the narrative around "white horses" and finding inner strength, ??! It reminds me of a powerful quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Continue to be the hero of your own story! ???
