Happiness and the Word “Work”
View Work as Steps to Achievement & Satisfaction!
The word “work” can convey wonderful feelings and images…
Think a “work of art” describing something of special beauty or “life’s work” as the pride and satisfaction we feel in long term personal and professional accomplishments.
Work can indeed be wonderful.
For other people, “work” means misery, difficulty and pain.
Anything associated with “work” must be avoided at all cost.
“Work” is by nature unattractive and distasteful.
“Work” deprives us of fun and enjoyment.
Habitually Happy people embrace very different perspectives. They view “Work” as steps to achievement and accomplishment. They love to achieve and accomplish and they always try to enjoy their work.
Habitually happy people decide what they are going to do and then they decide how they are going to enjoy it.
They know viewing something they have to do as difficult, dreary or distasteful allows their attitudes work against them. They always ally their attitudes to support their goals and decisions.
View work as steps to achieving your goals, relish and enjoy each step along the way and you will never have to toil again.

Thumbs up on everything you said and especially how you said it. It’s so true that “thinking makes it so”, or at least certainly influences it!

Hi. That is a nice post. Though it may be hard to see your work as steps thowards achieving goals if you are, say a data entry clerk, who does extreemly repetitive, boring work, or an assembly line labourer. How about seeing work than as a simple must do but, finding somethig else to ocupy your mind with while working, ie. listening to music..
