This leads Mowgli on a big adventure where he meets a lot of new friends. He’s more interested in what he does have, which is a huge jungle before his eyes. Mowgli doesn’t focus on the fact that he has no family and is an orphan. ‘Absorb what is useful, disregard what is not and add what is uniquely your own’. There may be people out there that are wrong, which is fine. Keeping a teachable mindset leads us to the ability to change, grow and move forward in life.

#THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE BOOK MOVIE#
In honor of Rudyard Kipling’s story The Jungle Book recently hitting movie theatres across the globe I thought I’d take a look back at the 1967 Walt Disney classic that warmed the hearts of many of us growing up. Have you ever re-watched a children’s movie and got more out of it as an adult than you previously did as a child?
