Professional Bull Rider Shawn Best II

Here's to 40 years, crazy to say I'm 40 now. I lived a pretty exciting life won a lot and lost even more. I got to travel and compete with my Dad and my Uncle Dave. I got to compete amongst the best in the world and more often than not got to stand shoulder to shoulder at the pay window at some of the biggest rodeos in the US and Canada with the best in the world. Have some pals that have my back, some beautiful children, family that loves me, the love of a beautiful woman being blessed in this life is something I can truly say. Being what I wanted to be on this life and getting to do all I did I am grateful, who'd thunk it this ol cowboy would have done what I've done.... All I can say is I'm not done yet. Cheers and here's to 40.

You're not bad at it, stop telling yourself that, you just haven't done it enough times

Todd Buffalo you were always a good friend and a great person to see at the rodeos had a ton of respect for you Pardner you are going to be truly missed, I will see you where the grass is green and stirrup high.

When you're considering a gym membership, getting some vitamins or supplements or something that improves you or your craft. If you're already invested into something.... and you're considering the cost..... Here's something my dad told me when I was buying rodeo equipment or things to help prepare myself.... " It's not money going out it's an investment into yourself and you never cheap out on yourself or your craft."

No matter what you do, it's still gonna snow, it's still gonna rain, if you give up when the clouds come out you're gonna die the storm.

Lose the fair weather mentality ( The belief that things always have to be a certain way.)

You don't always need a plan, sometimes all you need is Balls.
