“I hate this job!” You hear this often from people who are not satisfied with the job they hold. But they can’t take this thing called “job” away from them because it brings food to the table, buys them clothes and shoes to keep them in fashion, buys medicine to keep them healthy, and pays for almost everything they need on a day-to-day basis. Technically, it’s ironic that something like a “job” would be hated by so many people when it can bring them many benefits.

Psychologically, if you hate your job, it only means it’s something you do against your will. Anything that resists a flow makes the flows difficult. Similarly, anything that assists a flow makes the flow move faster.

Equating this with the way you may think about your job, if you put “love” instead of “hate” to your job, work becomes easier for you. This will make you more productive. The company will profit more. As a result, they will pay you more. Then, everybody becomes happy.

If you are the employer, you can also do many positive changes that will benefit your employees. In the end, you will be the biggest beneficiary of this change.

You can start by putting up slogans around the walls of the workplace. These slogans may promote unity and harmony between management and staff where everyone will benefit out of it. These slogans may suggest positive attitudes that will form part of their work habits. There is power in words. These words, once written on slogans, will guide your staff to change in positive ways. It would be wise to turn these words into action. In time, the “I hate this job” chant becomes “I love this job”. This improvement in work attitude will be reflected in turnover of employees. As an employer, you will find less people leaving the company and more employees being satisfied.

Visitors visiting your company will be impressed with the slogans you place on the walls of your work place. So make them as meaningful as possible.

If you’re the employee, you must make a change in the way you think about your job. It cannot be denied that hating or loving a job has a lot to do with the way you treat it.

There are many instances wherein an employee does not see the good side of his job until he has left or lost it. You need not wake up one morning to this kind of scenario. To avoid this, let the good side of keeping your job pervade your thoughts.

Here’s another formula to make you love your job. Treat your job as though you are doing voluntary work. Think of your job as though you are helping the needy without expecting anything in return. You will be astonished with the result it will bring to your heart, health, and pocket. Treating your job as a volunteer work makes you work wholeheartedly, without any resistance.

It’s either you keep your job or you don’t. Hating it is not an option.

When it comes to happiness, life gives us one of two choices – to be or not to be. The choice is up to us. Common intellect dictates that the choice is obvious. Nobody in his sober mind would choose to experience loneliness.

Somehow, if we let our mind drift freely, the tendency is to lean towards unhappiness. Take the case of an object thrown upward. The object will come down once the upward momentum has stopped. The path to happiness can be no different. Obstacles may pull us down. Therefore, we need to ride the rocket to happiness that will take us out of this downward pull. In addition, we will need fuel to sustain us to happiness.

Anyone can do this by making it happen. This will happen only if you will it.

Foremost, decide to be happy. It’s your right and privilege to do so. Next, think happy thoughts. It sounds simple in words, so much so that it’s easier said than done. Rightfully it is. But let me ask you these questions: How does the air feel during Christmas time, Thanksgiving, or any holiday season compared to a non-holiday season? When you step into the disco, with that entire loud musical beat, do you feel like swinging your hips, tapping your feet, snapping your fingers, and dancing as though you’re a pro? When your family and friends give you a surprise birthday bash, do you feel overwhelmed and carried away by the act?

Of course, you do. You are being influenced by your surroundings. If your surroundings are filled with confusion and commotion, won’t you feel the same?

Like external surroundings, you can also be influenced by your internal surroundings. Your heart will feel whatever surrounds your thoughts. If you envelop your thoughts with guilt, hatred, envy, or loneliness, you will feel it. But if you surround your thoughts with love, admiration, or happiness, you will likewise feel it. It’s just a matter of choice.

You might ask, “How can you feel happy internally when all you see around you are sufferings, confusion, and pain?” It’s normal to feel uneasy under this situation. However, will it help to improve the situation if you let it overwhelm you? You’ll be adding one more person who is confused and suffering. That person is you.

Given the opportunity to change the mood, to turn it into a cheerful one, wouldn’t you like to try it? Believe in yourself that you can. To accomplish this feat, surround yourself internally with cheerful, optimistic thoughts. Spread them externally. If you have to flaunt them, go ahead. Any act that promotes the good is worth flaunting.

Initiate happiness from within you. Get yourself infected by your own thoughts of happiness, and spread them outwardly to your surroundings. Promote and give them freely, for everybody to utilize. Instead of being influenced by unhappiness from others, let yourself be the one to influence others with happiness that comes from your heart.

Everybody wants to be happy and the way to it is either to think happy, or be influenced by happiness.
