Secondly, people who truly love their work and get a lot of satisfaction out of it have specific goals or accomplishments that they are always working for.
It may be developing a new product, leading
sales force in sales, touching a student's life every week, or getting that promotion you've always wanted. Whatever case, my personal experience and my observations of others is that as soon as you stop working towards a specific goal, passion you have for your work begins to fizzle and fade away.
Set goals regularly and review those goals in order to keep yourself on track. I recommend setting daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals in addition to having longer-term goals (1-5 years, 5-15 years, and 15+ years).
Review your goals on a daily basis and update your goals at least monthly.
Finally, work on your self-image and self-confidence.
I think many would argue that these two attributes are a result of success and fulfillment at work - they would be right in a sense. The more you succeed, better self-image and confidence you will have.
However, positive self-image and self-confidence are self-fulfilling prophecies. You have to have them before you can have them… you know!?
Let me explain. The way our subconscious sees ourselves is way that our actions will project to others.
In other words, if you believe yourself to be lacking in necessary experience and expertise to manage division that just opened up, then powers that be who are interviewing you for job will notice that you project a lack of experience and expertise needed for job.
Conversely, if your subconscious sees yourself as knowledgeable and confident, then image you will project to others is one of being an expert in your field.
Your actions justify your belief.
As you project and gain a more positive self-image and more powerful confidence, your work will begin to become more fulfilling and enjoyment is never far behind true fulfillment.
I know that your work can truly become a labor of love when you prepare yourself, improve yourself, and put yourself in a winning position. Hopefully, next time someone asks: "How's work going?" you can answer: "Never been better!"
