The three categories in the diagram above comprise the "capacities" of the human spirit. The first capacity has to do with meaningful purpose in life. Most of us want a life that has meaning and purpose. We want to look back on our lives and be able to say we "made a difference." We look forward to a fulfilling family life and career. Those people who have a sense of direction and purpose, seem to be happier and healthier. In like manner, those people who have clearly defined values, and live consistently with them are happier and healthier. Those who have not defined their values and/or don't live in accordance with their values, tend to suffer poor self esteem. A third capacity, internal and external relationships, refers to your relationship with yourself and with those around you. The development of healthy relationships, both with yourself and those around you, leads to enhanced spirituality and a healthier life. Spiritual health is all about developing or exercising these intangible yet vital capacities of the human spirit.
