It's A wonderful Life

It's A Wonderful Life
 
 
"I wish I'd never been born."
 
This is a quote from George Bailey in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life."  In saying that, his guardian angel decides to show him what life would be like for his friends, family, and others if George had never been born.  I attempt to discuss this movie with many clients because of it's message.  I'm shocked by how many young people have never seen this movie.  Maybe this is because it is one of my mom's favorites so I've seen it a lot, but also because I know it has been parodied frequently.
 
I bring it up with clients because I want them to understand what an impact they can have on the world.  I hear too often that no one would miss them if they were gone (and then they say maybe only their parents) and that they (the client) don't matter.  I point out that just like a drop of rain in a river spreads out and effects more then we know, they too have an impact.  We explored what impact they may have already made and what kind of impact they hope to make.   
The movie usually airs during the holiday season.  Check in out and discuss with your kids how they think things would be different if they had never been born.  Help them connect how they matter and want they want to do in this world.
