As I listen to one of my favorite songs by Clay Walker, it makes me think "what is it to you?" For some it's playing sports. Getting a much needed passing grade on a test. Or being in the great outdoors. For me, it's being in the show ring. It is the one place I feel alive. But it's not always easy to get there. Just like every endeavor in life, in order to succeed you must put time and effort into it. Sometimes it gets frustrating, monotonous, and down right draining but you must keep on going even if it seems like a one step forward, two steps back kind of deal. The lessons I have learned growing up in a showing atmosphere apply to anything I may be faced with. But I find it all worth while. When I am in the show ring, it's just me and my animal that I have worked with producing a rhythm of two hearts beating pounding out a message steady and true. When I was four my first love was pigs, and they always will be an important part of who I am today and who I will be in the future. So no matter what your passion is in life, go after it with all of your heart. It will be worth it in the end.
