Being mindful of our thoughts is the big lesson for a mindful life, huh? As I sit down to write my #mindfullife post for the week (missed Monday - it's Tuesday morning here in Australia) I'm contemplating that very thing.

I love that poem - funny, I'm teaching Invictus the film (about Mandala) to students next term (in comparision with a written text about leadership). I love the 'prison' example - whilst Mandela could have chosen to be bitter and vindictive, he decided to educate himself and understand his captors, so when he got out he could make positive change. Such a powerful message, and a nice theme for Mindful Monday!!
