Belgian-draft-horseI was listening to the audio version of Dave Ramsey’s book Entreleadership last week and it was talking about how strong Belgian draft horses are. Have you ever seen them? They are massive!

By themselves, a Belgian draft horse can pull about 8,000 pounds. If you put them with another horse they have never met before they can pull up to 24,000 pounds. Three times as much!

But, if you put two horses that they have been raised and trained together they can pull up to 32,000 pounds. Four times as much as the single horse can pull alone.

Who is your Belgian draft horse?

You’ve probably never been asked that before. If you have, I want to know the circumstances.

One of the absolute keys to success in fitness, weight loss, running, cycling, etc… is accountability. Not just they person that makes sure you make it to the workout and do what you are supposed to do, but also the person that celebrates your victories and walks with you through your defeats.

We all need someone like that in our lives. Whether it is a training partner, a group, your coach, or your significant other you need someone to fill that role.

If you have someone like that in your life, make sure they know what a blessing they are to you. Consider yourself extremely lucky to have that person or people who have your back.

If you don’t have someone like that, make it your goal to find them. Of course I would love to be your coach and have you join our group of awesomely supportive women, but that doesn’t work for everyone. Think long and hard about who that person could be, they could absolutely change your life.
