Too many times we allow things to get to us, make us frustrated, get us down, make us angry. When we do these feelings spill over and have an affect on other parts of our lives. These feelings (though normally aimed at someone or something else) really just end up hurting us. Like our thoughts, our feelings affect our reality. So it is imperative, for our own good, that we don't wallow in these feelings - do whatever it takes to work through and come out victorious on the other side. Time is too precious to waste on anger.
While today's tip might not seem career related, it most certainly is. Many of the people I work with have feelings of hurt, anger, disappointment, outrage, confusion, bitterness, etc. related to the reason they are not currently employed. When we go out and start our job search before we have worked through these feelings, employers can spot our "emotional baggage" and negativity from a mile away. And one of the most important characteristics that employers are looking for in potential employees is a positive attitude. In fact, most employers say that they would prefer to hire someone with a positive attitude that they have to train as opposed to hiring someone that has all of the skills needed for the position but a negative attitude.
