Research has proven that having a spiritual practice enhances life wellbeing. In the past, spirituality has been synonymous with a religious practice.

This week, we will examine legacy and impact. Legacy is future looking, whereas impact is often present moment thinking. Some will say that our legacy is overrated and that having the most impact while we are alive should be the goal. How important is it to leave a lasting legacy? How long will your legacy last? We will contrast legacy and impact and the importance of each. What impact are you having on the world, and those you interact with, in the present?

In week 4, we now turn our attention to the importance of character and core values. We will work to define these.

Your ethos can become a governing document to guide you on your life journey.
