Happiness equals success

I have been really down on my job lately, and then I was driving home last night listening to NPR. There was a report about all the people who were recently laid off and all of the thousands of people who are still unemployed and cannot find a new job.

I am a little whiner. Yup, this is truly the problem. Yeah, some days my job sucks big time, BUT, here is the kicker, I HAVE A JOB. I need to remember to be thankful for even having this position. Other people would kill for it.

Then last night I was reading my new issue of Self magazine that was delivered yesterday.

Happiness = success at work, not the other way around. Good words people, remember those.

They also said to turn things around on you job description. Instead of saying that I process mortgages I am going to tell people, and know in my heart, that I help people get into their dream homes.

The article also said to break down your duties into bearable bites. This I definitely need to do. My calendar is so full of people moving into their dream homes or making their home payments more affordable (refinance) that I want to cry every time I look at it. From now on I am looking at one day at a time.

Happiness equals success. I am changing my tune.
