A few weeks ago I came across Zig Ziglar on Facebook.
He passed away a few years ago yet his Facebook page is still a daily inspiration to a large number of followers. Remarkable!
My favorite speech:
Zig Ziglar – Attitude Makes All The Difference
It is so true. Attitude makes an enormous difference.
I had to laugh when he told the lady from Alabama, to stand in front of a mirror, look herself in the eye and with excitement and enthusiasm state the 22 reasons why she liked her job: “I love my job because they pay me for working there, I love my job because they pay me above average for working there, I love my job because they have a wonderful insurance program,….
What a remedy against stinking thinking!
And what a life lesson. I have bookmarked his speech and anytime I am unhappy with my job – I will watch it, pull out my notebook and write down “I love my job while….”. Actually if today were yesterday I would do it right now. But today is today and I actually love my job today, so there is no need to it immediately :-) But I am sure those days will come again, and when they do, be sure to know that I will write about it.
What about you?
What do you love about your job? Do you need to take out your notebook right now? If you are unsure, you should consider it. Take that step 1, right now.
Because attitude does makes all the difference!
