How many of you jump out of bed excited to head to work?  How about not wanting to leave work?  Probably not many of you!  I am probably one of the lucky ones. 

I love my job.  I love the people at my job.  I love the prospects of making a difference through what I do.  How about you?

If you don’t love what you do, you probably shouldn’t be doing it!  People who are not passionate about what they do generally don’t work hard at what they do.  They don’t often think about how they can make things better, whether a product or a service.  Those not passionate tend to be the weak link in an organization.  Most likely they don’t mean to be a weak link, a ball and chain.  But they are.  In fact if that’s you, then you are not catapulting your organization forward.  You are in neutral and another word for neutral is stagnant.  I had a prof who used to say, “You know what a rut is?  It’s a grave with the ends knocked out!” 

Believe you can make a difference.  Act like it is your responsibility to make a difference.  And do it with alacrity (another prof’s favorite word), i.e. with enthusiasm.  You might actually begin to make a difference!

I am blessed beyond belief with my job!  Hope you can say the same.  If not now, soon!
