The Book | The Podcast
“That which comes to me as seed, goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom goes to the next as fruit.”
So, who am I becoming? And what will my legacy be?
Mandela is both an example and a metaphor for all that we can invest in our own lives and the lives of others to create our own unique legacy. Legacy is as much about who we are, as what we do.
This book and the podcast make our search for our legacy, for who we are becoming, inspiring and do-able.
In Mandela’s own words:
“Men and women, all over the world, right down the centuries, come and go. Some leave nothing behind, not even their names. It would seem they never existed at all[1]”
or
“an elder…people who used their collective experience, their moral courage and their ability to rise above the parochial concerns of nation, race and creed, they can help make our planet a more peaceful, healthy and equitable place to live”.[i]
