Did you leap out of bed this morning thinking, "I can't wait to get to work!" If yes, hooray for you. If not, then read on to find out how to increase your enjoyment at work.
Love your job? Count the ways.
Grab a piece of paper. Time to tally the good things about your job. Search for the smallest as well as the largest of pluses in your job, and look for a balance in your favor. As for the minuses, see them as things working together for good in you. If love is a decision, then decide in your favor.
