Our teacher consistently told us that each of us were responsible for coming to class with an attitude of fun. It was no one’s responsibility but our own to entertain us. No excuses.
And, the funny thing was, when each of us came with the right attitude, it was as if it compounded exponentially, and it created an amazing space in which to create.
In the workplace, each person is responsible for his or her own happiness. Yes, leadership and the work culture are important, but ultimately you are responsible for how you respond to situations.
If across time, the environment proves not to be a good fit for you, you have the choice to find something that would be fulfilling for you. In the meantime, commit to bringing a positive attitude to the office.
