A sales ad tells us what a horse is on paper. Age. Breed. Size. Discipline. A highlight reel of talents and maybe a few quirks spun into something charming. But how often are we actually seeing the horse?

It's surprisingly disheartening to make it to the top and realize your heroes aren't who you expected. Not knowing who your heroes are anymore is like losing your compass. You can still walk, but you're not sure if you're drifting toward purpose or just pacing in circles. That's where I found myself at the start of this year. I was still working with my horses, but felt a little lost. And somewhere in that deep-dive, I realized I needed to go on a quest for new heroes.

We like to believe we see the full picture, that our version of reality is the one and only. But what if, like the horse, we’re only seeing half the story? What if there’s another side of the same experience that looks completely different depending on where we stand—or which “eye” we’re looking through?
