What to do to Keep Your Passion for Your Job

Even if you love your job, there will be times when it feels routine. And there might be disappointing setbacks tha tmake you feeld discouraged. Here are some suggestions on how to hold onto your passion for your work.

Make a list of all your successes.  The human mind is great at focusing on failures; however, remembering and acknowledging past successes ignites the inner fire to keep going.
Ask yourself, what is that one thing you do so well that no one else in your life can do?  Begin by taking an inventory of your strengths or interview people who believe in you and ask them what they see in you?
Look at failures as a milestone for gaining wisdom.  Experience is a wise teacher, instead of judging failures, look at the big picture on how they have shaped you.  
Create ways to be inspired, through books, hobbies, connecting with nature etc.  Insulate yourself from day to day stresses and learn to detoxify through inspiration.  Learning and reading about inspirational leaders who succeeded against all odds is of great help. 
Create and visualize an enticing vision for yourself.  This is a great technique to provide direction to the mind. Small visions provided over time enhance self-image and self-confidence.  
Make time to daydream—this, along with inquisitiveness and curiosity—is what made childhood so captivating. It will keep you moving towards success.  
Believe in yourself. Your belief system is the force that will move mountains in the face of obstacles.      
Honor yourself and have fun.  Self criticism is the number one block in achieving success.  Catch yourself in the act of winning and pat yourself on the back.  Continue to boost yourself and honor the person you are.
