Positive Attitudes in the Workplace

#1- take on the “unseen partner.” It is surprising the load he will take off of you. God is as much at home in offices, factories, stores, kitchens, as in churches. He knows more about your job than you do. His help will make your work easy.

#2-Discipline yourself not to put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Accumulation of undone jobs makes your work hard. Keep your work up to schedule.

#3- do not try and do everything at once. That is why time is spread out. Heed that wise advice from the Bible, “this one thing I do” (Philippines 3:13).

#4-Practice being relaxed. Easy always does it. Don’t press or tug. Take it in your stride.

#5-Become efficient in your work. “Knowledge is power” (over your job). It is always easier to do a thing right.

#6- get a correct mental attitude, remembering that ease or difficulty in your work depends upon how you think about it. Think it’s hard and you will make it hard. Think it’s easy and it tends to become easy.

#7-Plan your work-work in your plan. Lack of a system produces that “I’m swamped” feeling.

#8- determine to like your work. Then it will become a pleasure, not drudgery. Perhaps you do not need to change your job. Change yourself and your work will seem different.

#9- don’t get the idea that you’re Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. Don’t strain so hard. Don’t take yourself so seriously.
