As I was watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation with
my family, I started thinking about lessons from Christmas movies.
The most popular Christmas movie is It’s a Wonderful Life. In the movie, George runs a
building and loan association. His uncle makes a major financial mistake and
the building and loan go bankrupt. The town’s people could lose all the money
in their accounts.
Rather than face arrest and scandal, George decides to commit
suicide. He meets an angel, Clarence. Clarence shows what the world would be
like without him. Clarence convinces him to return home. When he returns home,
his friends have raised the money to save the building and loan.
There are two important lessons we can apply in our lives:
No matter how bad your problem, it’s always better to face it.
We can affect people and make a difference in their lives even
when we don’t realize it.
How can you take these lessons to improve your life in 2020?
(By the way, the lesson from National
Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is: common
sense can’t be taught.)
