Counting your Blessings
Just read a great blog post (below) by Geoffrey James, at Inc.com, about the importance of gratitude in your professional life.
How many times did your mother tell you to "count your blessings", when you were envying someone else's stuff, or complaining about silly problems. Mr. James applies it to your professional life. He suggests that people who are grateful for their daily "wins", even something as small as making someone smile, are more likely to take their "losses" in stride. While people who take wins for granted, are never satisfied, and are angered by their losses.
Now, over the long term, which do you think will positively impact your success: rolling with the losses, or spitting fire each time you lose? My money is on "rolling with it".
