Amy's Reflections

"You don’t drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there." ~ Ed Cole

One of the things I am most proud of as a parent is my children’s ability to try new things. As adults, we often get stuck by our own fear, which stops us from exploring new hobbies or trying something completely different. I have always envied the fearlessness that my children show in trying something new and different. Currently, Maleigha has been expanding her riding to include the saddleseat discipline. It has some similarities to what she has already learned but is completely different from what she knows, and what she knows she is good at. I am proud of her for stepping outside of her comfort zone. 

One of the things I have enjoyed the most about working with Steve is his ability to challenge us to step out of our comfort zone. For most of us, fear and contentment keep us in a comfortable space. Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics has proven great things are just over the horizon if you step toward the unknown. We have been incredibly successful because we have taken the risk and made the leap. I am grateful to have been part of the journey, and I am excited for what the future holds. This week, my challenge to you is to embrace something new and push yourself outside of your comfort zone. Adventure awaits!
