A Christmas Carol as a Guide to Personal Legacy

Written by J.J.

I love A Christmas Carol in part for it's comments on personal legacy. Have you considered yours? The shape of our legacy comes into focus by reviewing how we use our resources and what attitudes we hold toward life and our fellow man. If, like Ebenezer Scrooge, the story's main character, you haven't had time to fully consider how those attitudes and choices write the legacy you leave behind then these winter months are good times for reflection.

In A Christmas Carol, as you may recall, Scrooge is visited by three ghosts/spirits of Christmas past, present and Christmas yet to come. The sights they unveil prompt personal transformation by leading him to a deeper truth and stark encounter with mortality. The experience alters his legacy bringing joy into his final years. In this blog I wonder what past, present and future spirits might share with us in today's complex world and how they could guide us in building our legacy.
