Motivational Monday…It Doesn’t Matter

Happy Monday Kathy and what a story for the horse to be enter because of a late minute scratch and what odds.  What a race.

Kathy I watched the race and it was a real shocker.  I wish I had put $100 down on Rich Strike.  ☺️

A great analogy and truly a great story about Rich Strike. I once read about an 80 year old woman who had just completed her training to become a Doctor, she always wanted to but the opportunity never arose till late in life when everyone thought it was too late except her. She went on to provide health care for many years in a rural community.

Hi Kathy,

This is a great example to show those that all it takes sometimes is showing up and doing your best. My dad went to Churchill Downs and did attend the Kentucky Derby many times.  Here is an image of us at the famous racehorse park.

I look forward to your motivational Monday every week and I think I receive more from it as in life lessons Kathy 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing the race!  How exciting for everyone there, much less the owner and jockey!  Point well taken.  I appreciate your post very much!

The finish was so exciting Kathy, especially to watch it overhead and to see the spirit of that horse instinctually make to the front of the pack and WIN!!! I love stories like this that are so unexpected and found myself cheering for Rick Strike and his jockey.

Watching Rich Strike come through the pack for a win gave me shivers. He made them look like they were standing still. As a horse person from way back, I got teary-eyed watching the pre-race - those horses are so magnificent.

I did see what he did after the race - and would have to say he not only loves to run, he's a brat!

Hopefully, none of the agents taking motivation from your post will be so bratty when they win!

That was really an amazing horse race.  I've rerun the video a couple of times.  I remember no derby like it.

Kathy, loved your post and interesting take away from the Kentucky Derby.... personally  I have not had the TV on in going on three years.... as to my observation you make some great points,...never the less for me it is the Journey that is important, how we move along the Journey, not necessarily where we end up at or when we started, just my two cents, Endre

Good Tuesday morning, Kathy.

Have a great day and an outstanding week.

I watched that race live and I could see how the track opened up to allow the jockey to let him run. That horse was so amped that it would have run another race it allowed.

Same goes for business, keep trying and one never knows how the path will open up for business

Kathy:

There's some great advice and inspiration in this post!

I didn't watch the Derby this year but read about it. Pretty impressive horse racing!
