Welcome to the beginning of another work week. I know that some of you walked into the office this morning grudgingly. You were dreading all that awaited you, the e-mails, the deadlines and the politics. So as you sip on your coffee, fantasizing about quitting time, the weekend, vacation, or the day you hit the lotto and resign, I wanted to share with you the following thought.
Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those you hold well. --Josh Billings
The same is true on our jobs. Today, take a moment to recreate your attitude and rethink your strategy. Remember, whatever your situation is, you have the opportunity today to change it for the better. Speak positively to yourself and others. This week make it a goal to change the language that you use when you think and speak of your work environment and your projects. Don't be afraid to use words that are exciting. You can start in small ways. When someone asks how you are doing, respond with "fantastic". When they ask about your weekend, "wonderful". The coffee is, "delicious".
I wish you a productive, exciting and wonderful day. Let's work.
