Effort. A little word with huge meaning. Work requires effort. And, most of the time effort brings about results and rewards. But what do you do when you feel that your effort is getting you no where? Despite your best efforts, you find that your performance is waning or you are not content with your current situation.
My only answer to this question is: push harder. You have to be very careful how you handle yourself when you feel discontent, disillusioned and lost in the workplace. This is not the time to withdraw and stop putting your best foot forward. This is really the time to press forward and try harder.
I know this is easier said than done. In essence, maintaining a consistent level of effort in your work and daily life takes personal management skills. You must train yourself how to respond emotionally to negative situations. Just think, how did you respond the last time a co-worker rubbed you the wrong way? When you practice effective personal management, you become tuned in to to your pressure points and take a mind over matter approach to rough times.
Progress will never be made if tough situations force you to stop trying - effort. Learn how to relieve your stress, be patient with your co-workers, and ride out the dry seasons. Sometimes time heals all things effortlessly. Keep your efforts strong at work, the rewards and results will come in due time.
