Now, onto our topic.

Do you have friends who always seem to be jumping from one bad situation to another? Or does the following describe you?

• The idea of going into work tomorrow makes you want to flee the country.
• You're feeling stuck in your present job.
• Your job search isn't getting momentum.

Sure, you could put a list together of 100 things you need to do to change your situation. However, none of this will matter if you don't change your mindset.

Say you're someone who doesn't feel fulfilled at work and wants to flee the country. No doubt, your current job has you feeling exhausted. It's hard to get up every day with a pep in your step when you feel gloom and doom about your current situation. It's hard, if not impossible, to convince your employer to move you into a new position or a new employer to hire you when you're coming across someone who is miserable.

Misery is a choice. You can continue telling yourself that you're unhappy in your work situation and ask those around you for pity, or you can change your attitude and your situation. You can do so in four simple steps.

Step One: Jot down what you'd like your life to look like this time next year.

Step Two: Work backward. Think about where you are today and what you'll need to do, to get where you need to go.

Step Three: Rid yourself of the naysayers. These are the people around you who are miserable as well. The last thing they want to see is you leaving the misery club.

Step Four: Put your plan into action. Do something every day to change your situation. If you follow this plan, that means within one month, you'll be thirty steps ahead of where you began. You'll start to see movement, which will help provide the motivation needed to turn achieve your goals.

Don't wait until January 1st to begin this process. Start today, and you'll be that much further ahead when the New Year begins.
