With the holidays beckoning, here are three past articles that offer some positive ideas and messages:
1. What if we applied the Golden Rule at work? (October 2010) — Did you know this “rule” has its roots in many faith traditions?
2. Can communal responses to tough times lead us to better lives? (October 2010) — Hopeful, humane, and creative thinking for difficult times.
3. Seth Godin: Seven keys to personal reinvention (September 2010) — Better than a New Year’s resolution.
[Editor’s Note: In addition to maintaining a list of articles that have remained very popular on this blog — see the Popular and Notable Posts page — every month or so I’m recycling relevant posts from more than a year ago. Hopefully they will be of interest to newer readers.]

Seth’s really a great kick in the pants, huh? Thanks for reminding us of that one!
