Recently, I went to catch this movie called “Invictus” after seeing Tony Robbins’s tweets on twitter recommending it to his followers. This invictus movie is really inspiring and there is a lot of great stuff to be learnt about our beliefs and thinking. If you have not watched it yet, I do recommend you go check it out as it will inspire you to do great things too.

Invictus Synopsis

The film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa’s rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match.

Before I end this post, I will like to share with you the Invictus Poem that is talked about in the Invictus movie.

Invictus poem written by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Cheers
