I discovered how to enjoy my work more, even if it’s far from my dream job. And this works, for several months already!
First, I realised that since it’s not something I want to do for the rest of my life, I might as well give it some credit. I am living from this job and in certain view am contributing to the society…. But why should I keep loosing my energy on disappointment because I wasn’t promoted or because I think I could be doing something more useful?
I changed this energy into an effort of doing my job well. So what if I feel that my potential is not fully used there, I can still use some of it to be proud at the end of the day for the job well done. And I really stopped caring about all the negative things at work and most of all, I stopped finding the excuses.
And even if your job is not the most important thing in your life, it deserves a piece of your heart because there is so much joy in doing something you love.
I have to say, it took a while and some practice, but it was worth. I’m happy where I sit now and I know that people sitting around me are happy with me too.
