Feeling Again The Attraction Towards Your Work

By George Dodson


Big dreams need lots of drive and good jobs need your impetus. You have to learn how to turn the appreciation back on for your work and begin to feel enthusiastic about your work. Every now and then, people suffer from a bout of lethargy. One cannot really anticipate when this event will happen and one will only know about it when it brings us down. You do not want to work or just hate getting to office. You lose the old drive to organize and get things done; you would rather stay away from the office. Is this some kind of mental thing like a writers block? How frequent is this kind of occurrence and how widespread is it?

It is very easy to cultivate bad habits. Unnecessary friendships and relationships will add a lot of misery to our lives and this has to be avoided. You might be just proving a point to someone insignificant but that will add to the tension at the work place.

It is only natural that doing the wrong things will not get things done. There are customary ways for doing things. Go back and find out which things you changed recently. We notice that unimportant things like not taking out your notebook where you keep notes can upset you and once you bring out the book, everything becomes hunky-dory again.

You will notice something difficult is present in every work. That is the precise reason why you get your salary. Learn to live with that. In particular, it may be your job to make the collection daily from all the office people. Or you may have to make trips to the main office everyday. Doing something day in and day out is bound to wear anyone down. You can make small changes to the routine like helping Ms. Beazly tidy up her desk while you do your collection or stopping to chat with the gardener when you go to make your report. It will make your work so much more pleasant.

Work is so diverse. You do so many things but you always have one main thing to do. One normally has to collect reports, make reports, write the files and work closely with the colleagues. When you begin to lose pleasure in what you are doing, it is time to take a step back. Check up your daily routine step by minute step and find the pluses and minuses.

Most things will work out if we only ask. We assume that the boss will not approve things and wants things done in a particular way. Is there really any reason why you should not work more or even reduce the amount of work you do? Do you not think that you deserve a bigger salary and better perks? One must exercise a certain amount of caution in this regard however. Here, we are trying to become a role model rather than becoming a leader. One needs to bring some originality in everything one does. Everything turns out to be perfect, once you get the familiar love for your work.

Adopt the teaching method. The job will seem very tough when you see it like a newcomer does. You understand the work with much more clarity now and can help others too who are just starting out. Every expert is familiar with his or her work and therefore serves as an inspiring force for his or her team.

Living life fully involves things that go beyond money and comfort. It is about fulfilling a promise, a dream and you have to do everything to reach the goal. One important lesson will be learnt if one identifies the sloth that envelops us and takes our enthusiasm away. When, at times we do lose interest in our work, we have to revitalize ourselves and get going again. In your life you are the driver and it is your work. You can make things work bigger and better than anyone can or will.
