As we roll into December we ought to look forward to the holiday season with it's sharing, caring, joy, and happiness. Instead we sometimes act like an Ebenezer VanderSrooge worrying about work and complaining about everything under the sun. I'm passing along some advice this week that I need to remember once in a while.
Don't always sweat the nit-picky details. There are times as you travel through life that you don't have many options other than to just keep going forward.
Make work fun. Don't make obligations and responsibilities the enemy.
Stop living for tomorrow and start enjoying something about today.
Practice appreciation, recognition, and patience. People will remember your words of affirmation and praise alot longer than they will remember their paychecks.
Sometimes we get bogged down with so many day to day problems we forget to enjoy what were doing and fail to see the big picture.
Often we work our pants off and can't remember why or what we're reaching for.
Share your enthusiasm, passion, and love for what you do. Don't create an atmosphere of "oh why, oh me, oh my".
Try not to see everything and everybody as the enemy. Many times other folks are just doing their job.
If you watch the sun come up and the moon come up in the same day be thankful for things to do and the ability to do them.
"In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you would want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets." Matt. 7:12
