Enjoy Yourself

Enjoy yourself and feel good about what you are doing. If you are not enjoying what you do, then get the hell out and make room for someone who is going to enjoy it. You can enjoy yourself by taking pleasure in a job well done, having an inner smile, remembering the happiest incidence happened in your life and finding something to laugh about.

Enjoying work is about seeing your job, your role, in a much bigger context. You can be hardworking and you can enjoy yourself - you can do both. You can be productive, effective, efficient, industrious, sober, reliable and responsible - and yet still be having fun. It's your choice. No one told you that you had to be grave and upright. All you were hired to do was your job.

If you learn when to be serious and when to let up and find humor in a situation it will have a magical effect on those around you. And if you work in a place where serious and upright is the norm, here is a secret just for you: no one knows what is going on inside your head. No one. Just so long as the exterior is what they want, the inside can be whatever you want.
