It’s very simplistic to say one should be happy with a stressful or overwhelming situation, but what we feel is a true indicator of what the situation is.

So why try to be happy with something negative, something that drains our lives and doesn’t allow us the time to do the things we want to do?

Great tips. Would add “Choose a career that gives you the option to pursue your lifestyle priorities”.

This is a very timely article for me. I enjoyed it very much because it is based squarely in personal experience and learning. Such things are far more solid and wise then any book knowledge can be. Thank you for sharing your experience. Stephen's last blog post..Why Meditate?

Hey Barbara, No one is too old to make a change. We must always strive for our happiness otherwise we are just putting in our time.

Hey Tom, Be aware and Be bold are two more great additions to the list. When we can be confident it shows that we are engaged. When we are aware of how we are feeling we can make smart choices that help our future.

Thanks Karl for inviting Janelle, I enjoyed this read. I'd like to add two more that Janelle certainly used in her self-examination. Be aware and Be bold. Awareness Janelle so wisely pointed out is the key to telling the truth to yourself about yourself. We always get the hints; Janelle had the courage to listen to them and act.

Hi Karl and Janelle, What a wonderful story about lessons learned. I love your last line, "You’re never too old to make a change, and you’re never too young to learn from your mistakes". There is so much truth in those words. Barbara Swafford's last blog post..How To Get Your Blog Blacklisted

Hi Evelyn, our attitude sets the tone for our career. If we can adjust it by a few degrees then we can bring a lot more joy to the work we get paid to do.
