If you were visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, what would they show you about how you?re living?

Welcome to this special episode of the Passion Struck Podcast, where host John Miles explores the timeless story of A Christmas Carol. But instead of focusing on the well-trodden themes of redemption and holiday cheer, we?re uncovering a hidden gem: the spirit of mattering.

Have you ever stopped to wonder about your own significance? Do you question whether you matter in the grand tapestry of life? It?s a subtle yet profound question that shapes our daily interactions, aspirations, and even our deepest fears. And it?s a question that A Christmas Carol answers in the most unexpected ways.

In this episode, we will explore how Charles Dickens? classic tale offers timeless lessons on recognizing the inherent value of ourselves and others. We?ll dissect Scrooge?s transformative journey, not just as a redemption story, but as an exploration of what it means to truly matter.

What can one person do to change the world? Julia Butterfly Hill answered this question with an extraordinary act of courage and conviction. In 1997, with no formal training in activism or environmentalism, Julia climbed into a 1,000-year-old redwood tree named Luna and refused to come down for over two years. Her purpose? To save the ancient redwood from being logged.

In this episode of Passion Struck, we examine the powerful story behind Julia's 738-day tree-sit and how her unwavering commitment drew global attention to the devastation of ancient forests. Julia?s story isn?t just about environmental activism?it?s a profound example of how one person?s intentional choice can spark a ripple effect, inspiring people worldwide to take action for causes they believe in.

Through Julia's remarkable journey, we unpack her lessons about courage, personal transformation, and the power of standing up for something?even if you're standing alone. You?ll also hear insights on how you, too, can make a difference, starting with the small choices you make every day.

In today?s episode, John R. Miles explores the concept of choice bracketing, a powerful framework that shows how the seemingly small decisions we make every day can compound over time to significantly impact our future. Drawing on the real-life examples of Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett, we discuss how big-picture thinking helps avoid reactive, short-term choices in favor of intentional actions that align with long-term goals.

The episode breaks down the science of decision-making, focusing on how balancing short-term comfort with long-term success requires shifting from narrow, isolated choices to a broader, portfolio of choices approach. You?ll learn how Bezos applied the regret minimization framework to launch Amazon and how Buffett?s investment philosophy is rooted in viewing life through a long-term lens.
