I talk to people all the time who are unhappy in their jobs.

Maybe you're unhappy too.

That unhappiness is like an anchor, weighing you down and preventing you from moving forward.

😔 You don't have the energy to look for a new role.

😔 You can't muster the willpower to do things differently at work.

😔 You just do your job, head down, and try not to make any waves.

Inevitably though, waves happen.

And you're feeling pushed and pulled by the tide.

You think: "When I get a new job, I will be happy."

➜ And yes, you might be, but science says if you work on being happy right now, you're more likely to be successful at whatever you're working to do.

Take a look at this video (it's pretty short, quite funny, and really informative.)

​

Here's the thing: finding happiness isn't what you think.

It's not about your circumstances as much as it is about your outlook. Yes, they influence each other, but you can accelerate the cycle at a different point - not just by changing your circumstances, but by changing how you see the world.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

▶ Do you believe that being positive can increase your feelings of happiness?

▶ Can increased happiness lead to increased success?

▶ And when does it cross the line into toxic positivity?

📰 First called to my attention by Sarah Johnston on LinkedIn, big news if you've got a non-compete. . . you had one, but (probably) not anymore.​

📰 You're not getting enough of this, and it's harming your health. (No, it's not vegetables.)

📰 Managers are not ok (I'm looking at you, Directors, Supervisors and Managers.) Here's some interesting data on what's going on.

That's it for this week!! Reach out if I can help!
