Virtues define who we are. It is essential that we understand the meaning of the virtues and reflect on their relevance to our lives. A set of criteria is provided for assessing whether we are ‘Living the Virtue’.
There are a set of affirmations for further clarity and a ‘wisdom from the ages’ provides further inspiration. Each virtue is illustrated with an animal designed as a point of further learning: “What is the relationship between each virtue and its illustrating animal?”
The Virtues app suits most ages and many environments: home, class and reflection space. They are an ideal resource for a teacher, parent or anyone else interested in ‘Living the Virtues’.
These cards can be used for:
* a study event eg a lesson studying a specific virtue
* a random pick, guided by the universe: before a meeting, in the classroom, at home or during reflection time. As you do this activity be mindful of your question:
* What virtue do I need today?
* What virtue will help me solve my problem?
* What virtue will best assist me achieve my task?
After picking a card read and reflect on the card’s meaning and then make sure you are mindful of its practice throughout your day.
