Yes, I have to agree with you and The Urban Cowboy, number 7 is the key for many of us. I didn’t pay enough attention to number 7 for years and it came back and bit me hard. Sometimes the least “practical” thing to do is the most “practical.”

@John
Thanks for the feedback. Even if you’re in college, don’t make the mistake of doing something you’re not totally passionate about!

@Robert
yes, I wasnt sure if people would “get” the cat photo. For the people who have realised that it’s looking annoyed (because it’s monday morning), its a perfect photo for the blog post. For the people who thought the cat looked “sleepy” or “content” then it made absolutely no sense at all…

I don’t get the cat photo. Why is it relevant to this blog post?

On the other hand, i guess the cat looks pissed off, cos it’s Monday morning.

wait a minute, I just answered my own question!

Hey Kaizan! It’s posts like these that make me happy that I’m still in college ;). Anyway, this was a great list. What really stood out to me is the quote “Life is too short to hate what you do.” It really spoke to me. Keep up the good work, man.

@Karlil
Nice one. I agree, Why make life difficult for yourself?
Thanks for the comment.

@Dave
Good point. Sometimes just knowing you can walk away makes a job much more tolerable.It’s when you feel locked in that it can be stressful. Thanks for the comment.

@Natalie
Thanks for the comment. Relying on outside validation is always more uncertain than inner motivation. I think anyone who has achieved really big success has always had an inner motivation (not to say that they didn’t like the adoration too!)

@Jeffrey Tang
I like number 5 too! (I wrote it)
Thanks for the comment!

@Urban Cowboy
I think you’re right. Feeling bad about going to work every day is definitely not a good sign. I’ve been there and number 7 was really the only alternative. Thanks for the comment

@Tyler
Thanks for the comment. I agree with you that making change without thinking it through thoroughly can be dangerous.

@Ken Kurosawa
Good luck. Enjoyed your post this week

I like number 5; it’s all about taking action to improve your circumstances, instead of just throwing your hands up in the air and quitting. I can say from personal experience that delegating and/or outsourcing work is a must, especially for rapidly growing businesses. The sooner we learn to use these tools effectively, the happier we’ll be at work.

This is a great post. I know so many people who can’t stand Mondays. I often find that I’m slightly apprehensive on Sunday nights! Something that helps me is to look at a task at work and say, “Ok, what can I learn from this?” Looking at a task and seeing what you can learn from it seems to be a good motivator - especially more so than external motivators (a raise, recognition, etc.) Often when those external things don’t happen, we feel really disappointed. That’s why motivating internally helps.

Some good ideas. I suggest putting yourself in a position where you are able to have leverage if you work for someone else. I know a lot of people I worked with were in debt so much, they had to make sure they made their boss happy over themselves. Make sure you are financially stable with a good emergency fund and you will automatically have more control in your position.

Good luck to all…
