Do you dread going to work on Monday morning?
Are you one of those people who can't wait until Friday
rolls around?
If you are, that's a good indication you hate your job
and that you lack passion.
Being passionate about your job means not watching
the clock. It means going the extra mile. It means
being so engrossed in your work, you lose all track
of time. It means being committed and professional
at all times.
When you are passionate about what you do for a
living you not only enjoy your job more, but you
also get greater pleasure out of life. The two go
hand in hand.
Would you like to be more passionate about
your job?
Here's the key:
Do more.
Instead of being passive and going with the flow,
be proactive. Do the little things at work that no
one else is willing to do. Believe me. People will
start to take notice - especailly those in position
of power.
Get more involved in those boring business meetings.
Who says business meetings have to be boring?
Why not spice things up with a joke of the day,
or something else of a lighthearted variety.
If you change your attitude and become more
passionate, it will rub off and have a positive
effect on others.
And you'll feel better about yourself, knowing
that you are helping others feel better about
themselves and their job. You will actually be
an inspiration to people.
More importantly, when you develop passion,
you'll get more done. You won't have to hide
out in the bathroom, doing as little as possible,
until it's time to go home. You won't have to
waste time scheming about how to get out of
an unpleasant assignment, because with your
new attitude, there will be no such thing as
an unpleasant assignment.
Also, you won't be at work daydreaming about
your upcoming vacation that's 6 months away.
When you are are passionate about work you'll
do a much better job. Why? Because your passion
for your job won't let you settle for anything less
than your best effort.
When you are passionate about your job, you'll
put in your time and request even more hours.
With your new-found passion you won't be
cheating your employer or co-workers. More
importantly, you won't be cheating yourself.
Your boss will love you and you'll start to get
the great assignments (and more money!!).
Need proof?
Think about something you're really passionate
about.
Maybe it's a favorite hobby or sport. Maybe
it just hanging out with your friends.
Whatever it is, take careful note of that
feeling you're starting to get inside, just
thinking about it.
Now imagine how good you would feel if you
could take that same passion and apply it to
your work day - everyday.
In closing, try being more passionate and
see if it doesn't make a profound difference
in your life.
Go ahead and try it.
I guarantee you'll like it!
