From Envy to Inspiration

Hello,
Greetings from Manila! It being October, the Christmas season has begun here — believe it or not! Holiday tunes can be heard on the radio, and many shops, restaurants, and hotels have put out their Christmas displays. Filipinos take Christmas very seriously!
Although I have witnessed this extended Christmas season many times over the years I've lived in the Philippines, I find that my US cultural roots run deep, and find it hard to think about Christmas before Halloween rolls around. And it's too soon to think about the year ending, when there is still time to make good on goals and intentions for 2012! What would you like to accomplish before the end of the year? I'd love to hear from you -- click <reply> to this email and drop me a line! As you think about what you'd like to accomplish, you may find yourself comparing what you have achieved with what people around you (or those you have merely heard of) have attained. This could lead to some feelings of envy -- it happens to all of us! I hope the featured article below will help you move from envy to inspiration...and action!
Best wishes for a great week ahead,
