You are the captain of your own ship.  Contrary to popular belief, you create your own experiences.  You are not powerless to the things that happen to you.  In order to achieve happiness at work you need to let go of the notion that in order to be ‘happy’ you must be working in your dream job with a boss who doesn’t email you after hours or put deadlines on projects.

Here are a few tips to help you achieve greater happiness at work…

1. Let go of any grudges you may be harboring. Just drop it and move on. There is no point in getting annoyed or angry with someone over something that has happened in the past. Chances are, the other person has already forgotten about the incident that you are holding on to!
2. If you make an error, learn from it. Be aware of the mistake and move on without beating yourself up. This will only distract you from other tasks you have to finish.
3. Try not to allow yourself to get jealous of your coworkers. This is a waste of time. Instead, use this as motivation to prove yourself and the integrity of your work to upper management.
4. Find passion in what you’re doing. Not everyone is lucky enough to land their ‘dream job’. You should make the best of every situation and try your hardest to excel, even if it is in a position that you are not happy or comfortable in. You may find that doing well at a job or task you are not comfortable doing may be more rewarding than you think.
5. Keep reinventing yourself. Set new goals and constantly ask yourself where you want to be in the next 5 years. It will keep your outlook and motivation up.
6. Stop the “If/Then” Scenarios.  For example, “If I make more money, Then I will be happier”. You cannot let these scenarios define you. You should live in the moment and find happiness in each stage of your career. (This does not mean, however, that you should be happy staying stagnant – it’s a fine line).

Most people think that if they are successful at work, they will automatically be happy.  Maybe they should reverse this scenario though.  If you are happy at work and not focusing on all of the negative aspects, it will allow for more time to focus and become more successful.
