Regardless of how you feel about your job right now, you were probably really excited about it at some point. That’s why Peter Economy at Inc. suggests a simple trick to help you fall back in love with what you do:

Excitement fades and complacency can take its place. You may have lost your drive merely because, over time, you’ve lost sight of what you wanted to accomplish. When things get rough, take some time and look back. What about your job got you so excited in the beginning? Rediscover it and latch onto it.
