Weather or not…

The New York area was hit by a big snow storm on Monday, and it was interesting to observe people’s reactions around the workplace.
I spoke with a number of people who felt virtuous because they had actually come into work. Imagine!
When I came to the office, the streets were passable and most of the sidewalks had been cleared. But schools were closed, and I think many adults felt slighted. Why couldn’t they have a snow day too?
When people feel good about the work they do, they don’t let a little snow get in their way. Allowing snow - or any other temporary obstacle - to have power over you isn’t saying much for how you value your work.
Whether it’s a sense of purpose, a feeling of satisfaction, or a feeling of accomplishment - your attitude about your work permeates into other areas of your life.
Take control of it, instead of letting “the weather” take control of you.
