In life we tend to have some areas where we play the long game, and some where we play the short game.

My oldest daughter, Zara, teaches me the gentler side of life.

Recently my daughter, Zara, competed in the Otago Southland Show Jumping Championships on her pony, Sands. It was her first really big event. She was coming out of smaller events where she’d always get placings.

Steve Jobs was famous for his ‘reality distortion field’, whereby he’d bend reality to make the seemingly impossible happen.

I used to think mindfulness was about becoming present in this moment.
