Discouraged on my Job!

Question:  I feel that I can not do anything right at this point on my job and it is so hard to keep positive.  I need my job. I need some positive inspiration to read and say on a daily basis.  Looking forward to hearing from you and getting advice.

Dear "I need positive inspiration";

First, I'm sure you do a lot of things right on your job even if it doesn't feel that way. Even if you don't hear it often or not at all, you are a person of value.  The only thing you can do is do the best you can with what you have been given.  I too have had some challenges on my job and felt unhappy; which led me to begin my Monday Morning Inspirations.  I needed encouragement, so I decided to be the catalyst to change my environment and started sending Monday Morning Inspirations to my friends at work who were also unhappy.  In encouraging them, I was able to encourage myself.  I also started posting scriptures and encouraging quotes around my desk.  Here are some that I have posted in my office:

•   I am a catalyst for change.
•   I am a thermostat, not a thermometer.
•   Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.
•  Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.
•  When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.
•  If you're not making mistake, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes! 
• Psalm 120:1-2 I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.
• Psalm 121:1-4 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.  He will not let your foot slip— He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
  

  Try listening to soothing music if you can.  Maybe try to find ways to encourage some of your fellow co-workers.  And if all else fails, just think, someone would love to have a job that they hate.  I know things will get better and I look forward to hearing about it.
