Do You Love The Job Your In?
Sunday, April 26th, 2009It’s all about being happy and finding the job you like and even love right? Here is an excellent article we recently came across and wanted to share with the group. The article has been shared with us by our friends at The Career News and abridged by MSNBC.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ — To be happier in your work life you need to start doing things differently. If you don’t, you’re practicing the definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. It might be worthwhile to start changing your attitude towards your job.
Instead of thinking, “Oh no” when the alarm goes off consider, “I’m going to make the best of this day”. It’s a small change, but it’s a start! What else can you start doing? Look on the Internet for a new position or course to add to your skills. Start thinking about what you really enjoy doing and explore how you can turn that into paid work.
Maybe you can start clearing some of the circumstances in your life that keep you stuck: do the children really have to go to private school, do you need the latest model car? Keeping up with the Joneses is what keeps us suffering. When I was in a job I loathed, I always felt better when I started applying for other positions. It felt good to do something other than just moan about it.
