Do you remember what you felt as a child when you were going to do something special?
Maybe a visit to the park? The movies? A sleepover at a friend’s house? The last day of school? A road trip to see relatives…favorite cousins?
Do you remember that feeling of anticipation, energy, happiness? That surge of possibility? Those pangs of being in love with life?
Do you remember?
Does your work feel like that? Does it pass the “child about to go to the park” test?
Yes? On most days? That is outstanding! Congratulations!
No? On most days? That stinks. I’m sorry about that.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Now here’s the tough question, the awkward one: what are you going to do about it?
