The way we approach the
jobs we have to do makes all the difference in how they get done. A positive
attitude makes hard jobs seem easier and simpler to accomplish.
With a healthy dose of
joie
de vivre—a cheerful enjoyment of life—we can accomplish the job we have to
do while facing what might otherwise seem like torture.
Writers operate like
hamsters on a wheel. We start books, agonize over getting to a certain word count,
wade through the editing and publication process and then start all over again.
It sounds repetitive enough to make your
tired, right? However ...
Our way of dealing
with this lengthy process will either exhaust or help us stay the course.
Taking on each task with an upbeat attitude makes the creative process one we
will enjoy, knowing we're striving for excellent results at the end of each
journey.
What approach will you
take today? One of joy and gratitude? Or one of joy and gratitude? See what I
did there? Go forth, determined to enjoy the tasks that lie ahead of you today!
