| Why the World is Forcing Us to Look at Our Lives in Deeply Different Ways |
| Our country is currently experiencing the dual “winter storms” of the pandemic and the political outcome of our election. Yet, even as the worst of this storm befalls us, we can see a light within this dark cloud. Vaccines have arrived and there is change in leadership. We now have the glimmer of a new year bringing us a new beginning—and a rebirth of hope in our lives.  “For many months, we Americans have not allowed ourselves to hope, but now that we have the possibility of it, what will we do with it? Soon the pandemic will be gone, and the politics will have quieted down. We should then ask ourselves these key questions: What will we do with this new hope? Who will we be after the pandemic is done and the politics have changed…?”…asks thought leader, Carew Papritz. In the strangest way, the pandemic has given us the gift to live life to the fullest in a much more purposeful way. Even the recent attack on the capital has forced us to reexamine what civility and discourse are in our daily and national lives. “Our consciousness has been pushed and we’ve realized things are so much bigger than ourselves,” says Papritz, author of award-winning book, The Legacy Letters, who encourages people to consider what’s truly important in life: leaving a positive legacy. ![The Legacy Letters his wife, his children, his final gift (WINNER- Gold Medal- Mom's Choice Awards) by [Carew Papritz]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517POTEiHTL.jpg) Papritz pegs the question of what the future might hold after the pandemic and political discourse is over. Are people going to take what we learned and double down on living with greater purpose? Or will we become more selfish and less kind? Who will we be?
