Horse’s Point of View

Posted by LeeAnn on July 26th, 2010 at 10:22am

Have you ever stopped to consider the horse’s point of view? What it is like to be in service to and dependent upon humans for your life? If you were a horse, would you be happy with your place in the world?

Horses see humans as predators. And we are. I believe that horses love the opportunity to be partners in a very unique dance. Horses can teach more about connection, relationship, learning to see another as equal to your self than most humans can teach each other. The question is, do we want to learn from the horse’s point of view?

Are we willing to stand fully in another person or animal’s shoes? When we do; we might have our idea about who we are challenging. We might not be as patient, available, in the present moment, open to another’s opinion or as generous as we might like to think we are.

This week, see if you can really stand in another person or animal’s point of view. If you were the animal, how would you rate you on a scale of 1-10? If you can’t give yourself a 10 – what are the things you’d like to do differently to re-engage the relationship? Specifically?

It can be humbling to see yourself from another’s point of view AND it can open the door to some amazing new growth opportunities. Are you up for it?

Drop me a note and let me know your experience of another’s point of view.
