The Ghosts of Fascinate Past, Present, and Future: A Holiday Reflection on Your Advantages

We all know the story: Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, who guide him through a journey of transformation. But what if these Ghosts came to visit you—not to focus on holiday cheer, but to reveal something even more personal: how your Advantages shape your past, present, and future?

Let’s take this fascinating journey together.


The Ghost of Fascinate Past

This Ghost takes you back to the purest version of yourself. Remember when you were a kid, before life taught you to “fit in”? This version of you was free of filters, expectations, and self-doubt—living fully in your natural strengths.

  • Were you the curious inventor? Always tinkering, creating, and challenging the status quo (Innovation Advantage).
  • The storyteller or the empath? Bringing people together through emotion and shared experiences (Passion Advantage).
  • Or the quiet observer? The one who noticed the subtle details others missed (Mystique Advantage).

Your childhood self holds important clues about your top Advantage—the qualities you were naturally gifted at, the ones that made you stand out. The Ghost of Fascinate Past reminds you to honor these traits as part of your foundation.


The Ghost of Fascinate Present

Now, the Ghost turns your attention to the here and now. Are you fully leaning into your natural Advantages, or have you drifted away from them?

Life has a way of pulling us in directions that don’t always align with who we truly are. Maybe you’ve let distractions or doubt bury your brilliance. Or perhaps you’ve found yourself adapting to others’ expectations instead of leading with your unique traits.

  • If you lead with Prestige, are you marketing yourself as someone who delivers excellence and sets high standards?
  • If your Advantage is Trust, do your clients and colleagues feel your steady, reliable presence in everything you do?
  • And if you have the Power Advantage, are you stepping confidently into leadership roles that showcase your authority and influence?

The Ghost of Fascinate Present challenges you to reflect: Are you using your natural traits to captivate and inspire others?


The Ghost of Fascinate Future

Finally, the Ghost of Fascinate Future paints two possible paths for you.

  1. The road where you stay stuck in sameness. You blend in, suppress your Advantages, and fail to differentiate yourself. Opportunities pass you by because your message isn’t clear or captivating.
  2. The road where you step into your highest and best self. Here, you embrace what makes you different. You lead with fascination, communicate your value confidently, and naturally attract the clients, relationships, and opportunities that align with your unique gifts.

This Ghost reminds you that your future is a blank page. The story isn’t set—it’s yours to write.


Your Holiday Takeaway

Just like Scrooge, you have the power to transform your story. The Ghosts of Fascinate Past, Present, and Future don’t demand that you change who you are—they ask you to embrace who you are, and who you’ve always been. 

Your Fascinate Advantages are the keys to standing out in a crowded world, earning attention, and creating meaningful impact. They’ve been with you all along, and they’ll guide you as you step boldly into your future.

This holiday season, honor your past, align with your present, and lead with your best self into the future.
