How to Get Motivated and Love Your Job Again

Remember your first day? Your shoes have a shine like the tiles on the Space Shuttle and the crease of your pants might have diced celery. The air was somewhat fresh, the birds chirpier. You have been hired. You've been given a chance to excel, a chance to make a difference.

Now contrast that with this morning.

Are you motivated to wake up every morning and go to your work with enthusiasm? After some time, most people end up making a compromise after another until they have resigned to mediocrity. It's darned hard to keep this first day will buzz.

BUT ... there is no reason why you can not either get a good measure of the first day feeling. You can motivate you to strive for excellence, and to make good use for all those whose lives touch on a daily basis. And you can back the love of your work.

It is to make the choice to do so.

Why You Need to Get Motivated, Find Your Enthusiasm, and Love Your Job Again

Have you ever met one to two years, which was not enthusiastic? We have packaged with it. And then ...

What happens to us?

What happens is that we make a choice. Some of us choose to make the effort to keep in touch with our enthusiasm and love for our jobs. Others find reason to lose contact with it - boredom, responsibilities, challenges, fatigue.

But here's the problem: the enthusiasm is the driving force behind every success. Without it, nothing happens big. If you choose to lose touch with your center of enthusiasm, you choose mediocrity. It's really that simple.

Of course, there are many reasons to curb your enthusiasm. But there are many reasons to return, including the celebration of your incredible good fortune. In the process you can do even better than wealth.

Here's How to Find Your Enthusiasm

Step 1: Start with the fact that you're not dead yet, that you were born at all, you have a job, and that compared to many people, you have a pretty darn good job.

Step 2: Now consider the circumstances of the excellent work you have. Write down your complaints and the five largest positive spin. For example, "My boss micromanage me" can be rephrased as "My boss cares about me enough time to my work when I need help."

If you really looking for your first day buzz again, be much closer to him now that you've been there ten minutes.

All this rethinking and reframing deleted a huge drain of energy in your life - you've probably not aware. It takes enormous amounts of energy to constantly reinforce your own sense of the victim. Excellence is much less expensive. Now that you feel rather lucky, what on earth are you going to do with all that energy?

How to play the Big Game you joined?

Now you just fill you with a lion's share of this precious thing called the human spirit, and not to invest in mediocrity. Then play the sense of bighearted game you've always dreamed of playing, the poor and leave to others. Get motivated and start loving your work again.
