At the same time, if you do not love what you do you will find that your productivity will dip no matter how much you try otherwise. Hence, the secret to survival in this case is to find ways to keep your morale high; and this has to be something that comes from within, because your organization will likely not take the trouble to do this. They would rather fire you and employ another person who loves the job.

Here are 3 quick tips that will help you love whatever you do and be optimally productive even in jobs that are not exactly your dream occupations:

1. Think and Thank Providence for the Paycheck - Work equals cash in your hand. Cash in your hand means you have the freedom to live your life the way you please. Without the paycheck you would have to make huge compromises such as staying with your parents/friends, cutting down on shopping, the way you commute, the way you eat, the place you vacation, and so on. If you have a family to support, this aspect becomes even more serious.
   
   When you think about the paycheck that gives you so many advantages, you will feel grateful that you have the job and you will actually start loving it.
   
   
2. The Optimist Sees Opportunity in Every Difficulty, While the Pessimist Sees Difficulty in Every Opportunity - Take the present job as an opportunity to learn something new. If nothing else, you will learn how to excel in a job that you do not like. Take it as a personal challenge to overcome your dislike and excel at what you do and win the trust and appreciation of your peers and superiors alike. A challenge is always refreshing and stimulating.
   
   
3. Use Your Job as a Motivation to Learn New Skills - Most organizations encourage their personnel to learn new job-related skills through various HR schemes. Use this window of opportunity to add some cool skills to your CV. Choose carefully so you can use the newly acquired skills when you search for jobs that suit your preferences and qualifications better.
