While many are unemployed or still looking for their dream job, there are people in the position who keep on complaining about their jobs; the people around them, how hard their works are, the salary that is not enough for their needs etc, etc.

Majority of the employed population would agree that it is not easy to find a job in this time, the effort that they did, the time they consumed before they received the appointment for a job interview. The stress they felt, everything that they had gone through was not an easy path. But looking at them now, not all of them would say that they are happy with where they are now. The question is; Is it normal for hating your work? Is it healthy that after you gave all your effort you would disgust your position?

Looking around, we will realize that the ratio of employed to unemployed are very alarming, the number of dependents are growing fast due to unemployment. Now, here are some, saying to themselves; “I don’t like my job anymore. “

People who are in the position should be very thankful and blessed that they are there in the comfort of their offices while there is more deserving still struggling to get a job. Learn to be grateful for that where you are now, is a product of your hard work and diligence.

As Oscar Wilde said; “The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine without one.”

Look at what had transpired  during your job hunting, compared them to what will happen if you just stand there and speculate how could it be to be in your position now, to the feeling of in need because of being jobless. These things and more will bring you to a realization that you should express gratitude instead of complaining about your current job. You will surely say “I love my job” instead of “I don’t like my job.”

Questions have been asked; do you really need to love your job? Many would say yes because they believe that only by loving what you do, you will be happy accomplishing it. But some would say; not necessarily, there’s no personal thing about it, it is just a job you need to perform so there’s no emotional attachment required to be involved.

A great deal of articles has been publicized on the significance of finding a job that you love to do. Writers had recognized the relation of good performance and productivity to the happy feeling one worker or employee is possessing.

As we would go and ask people of different walks of life, we will realize that most people don’t love their work. Many simply like it because that was the job of the person they idolizes, or something they find sophisticated or people look up upon that profession. Some tolerate it because they needed something for a living, there’s no choice left but to endure on what is on hand. Very few find work appealing and enjoyable and viewed as they would be doing until retirement time.

This study result does not necessarily mean that we will just live by that system and should leave everyone else in desperation and kill that desire to finally find something that they would enjoy most.

It is still healthy to believe that in time, you can and be supposed to discover things that will make you happy. It may just be somewhere or right on your very eyes. Sometimes a realization and self-reflection has to be done to be able to become conscious that you are in fact in the place you’ve been dreaming of. You just don’t realize it or accept it because you are looking too far.

Being ambitious is not bad at all, its just that, sometimes because of our ambition, we tend to forget and ignore what we have at present. We keep on wanting and aiming things that are not for us yet and needs a waiting moment. Being aware of the good things and favor that are in your lap will definitely bring positive performances and great value of productivity thus will result to financial success.

But happiness and enjoyment will not come about, not yet. You can be successful but feeling alone. Happiness is when you are satisfied and contented. That will happen only when you are with people you want to be with and you appreciate the things around you.

You cannot force people to love and accept you nor to love things you don’t really like. But self reflection and truthful appreciation have the power to change the whole scenario. You may not be able to be in love with what you do, but when you are happy, love will definitely be developed.

What is your attitude towards work? How do you perceive things around you? How do you react on things that come your way?

Your day can be determined by our attitude. It can be the catalyst for prosperity and abundance beyond your dreams or if you just work to get by. It can conclude whether the outcome of the work will be good or unsatisfactory. The attitude you have towards work can truly help attract more of what you want, hence, the Law of Attraction.

Do you need to change your attitude? So how do you do it? Changing attitude towards everything is as easy as making a decision to do so. You have the power inside of you to decide anything and the ability to follow through with that decision. Once you decide that you are going to have different attitude, you have to settle on what the new attitude will take in.

Being contented and thankful of what you have at present and confidence in your self will play an important part in this. When you are grateful for what you have, what you do, your belief starts to shift toward abundance of that certain thing that you are grateful for. Once you move into the belief of contentment then your attitude starts to change for the better. Be cautious, this works in reverse also! And then you start to attract more of the same into your lives.

Look around you, your work area, workmates, your position, people of least to you, everything you see, look at them closely. Think of the things that you do and you have. Think of things that you would like to have a better attitude about. Now make a list of things that you are grateful of. Make sure they are positive. Read that list every day, several times a day for a week. By the end of the week you will notice that your view on that particular thing has improved. You will also notice many other things in your life that you are grateful for and many different things that you have a different better attitude about.

This does not mean that you will not accept problems and hardships, that is being in denial, accept it as part of life. You just have to realize that you have the ability to look at the situation differently and be the person that you want to be.

Perceiving things the way you want it will determine its outcome. You should stop blaming others for what had happened to you, you should start to become responsible of your decision on things, and only by this your attitude will be corrected.

What is your mind-set towards your work?
It’s a matter of choice, the situation you take will determine whether obtaining fulfillment or misery! It is your own decision whether to settle as second rate or be at our best in your work.

Losing enthusiasm for something is a common thing. There are many potential causes, but the underlying theme is typically a distinct lack of desire to do it. And if you stop, many things will be affected. Bring back the excitement to your work and later on, see that you’re not only reaping the fruit but tasting the sweetness of your fruit.

More often than not, many people with potential give up. One of the main reason is they do not appreciate what is in front of them, they keep on looking far, perceiving other’s job as greater that what they have. Appreciation is one golden rule. The moment you learn to give value to what you do no matter how hard or easy it could be, that is more than enough to think twice before quitting.

Waiting pays. Life is like a video game. You have to strategize your move, plan your actions and set goals. It is not wise to kick and punch all the time, sometimes you need to wait for the right timing to make sure you hit the opponent. Staying for a while, analyzing things and treat things lightly will bring positive result. Sometimes it not wise to always run, there is a time that we need to stop and recharge until we have the vigor to fight again. Wait for your chance. If circumstances do not favor you, reconsider, maybe it’s just a test that you have to finish before leveling up.

Persistence is good to be a best friend. “Try and try until you succeed.” This old saying still works,  even if you think you did your best yet your superior did not even valued it, continue to persist in your efforts, if done, you cannot fail to succeed on some level. Most of the time, just because our attention are focused on something, we neglect to see other potentials around us, if circumstances fall short, we resulted to quitting. As they say, “Winners do not quit, quitters do not win”. Persevere with what you plan to do, hit the goal and in time you’ll a matured you handling greater works.

Our higher potential finds us when we set our course in a correct direction. The power of appreciation, the fruit of waiting and the product of persistence will lead you to a greater performer you.  At the end of the day, you will see yourself looking back and thanking yourself for not quitting.

Feelings of frustration can occur when we think we’re stuck with absolutely no other choice. Do you feel that you’re spending too much time at work and there must be more to life? There are always options and choices we can make. We just need to figure out what they are. Find out which area of your life needs attention and focus on that first and see how great your life could be.

The amount of angst you carry with regards to your work can literally be debilitating whether you’re an employee or the boss. Numerous surveys and studies confirm that occupational pressures and fears are far and away the leading source of stress for American adults and that these have steadily increased over the past few decades.

There’s really more to life than work alone and how do you get it? I would like to suggest that you consider the fact that your life and your work can be and should be one and the same. That concept may take a moment to sink in for many of us. The stronger you dislike your present work situation, the more you may want to disagree with that statement.

While you separate your lives from work you make one of them bad and the other one good. In one way or another we often feel guilty if we spend too much time at work and neglect our lives, and vice-versa.

If your belief is that you must labor and toil to live, then you are cutting yourself off from a deep and satisfying opportunity to express yourself as a creative, giving, and intelligent contributor to every facet of your life and the lives of everyone you associate with.

Certainly if you would look closely our work is one of the greatest opportunities for expressing our reason for being. Never before in the history of the world has there been a greater confluence of circumstances perfectly aligned to support and encourage the individual to monetize their own gifts and talents.

Stop complaining about everything you don’t like about your present work situation. Stop associating with people who always complain about their present work situation. While we may not be able to change our environment, we can change our response to it.

The first step to changing your life is to change the people you are around with. Often leaving the negative situation is not enough in itself. You need to find ways to fuel positive energy. This may be a simple task for some, but others are so engrossed in their negative thoughts it is hard to find that path to contentment.

Take it from Napoleon Hill “Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you’re ready or not, to put this plan into action.” If you aren’t, getting what you want out of life then it is time to try something new. You need a new attitude, a new strategy or a new goal. Life is full of amazing opportunities, but you’ll never know if you don’t reach out and proactively pursue more of what you truly want. Life just doesn’t give up all its treasures without a fight.
