Make a game of being awesome on the job and you will drastically improve your experience.

The workplace can provide all the challenge you need to grow as a person. You spend most of your time there. It's your context. It's your primary observation deck for witnessing how you interact with life. 

Pick your biggest challenges. Boredom? Repetition? A boss who never approves anything? A coworker two cubes over who cranks away on his apple as if he were the only man on earth like clockwork every lunch time? Or maybe it's more personal, like fear of making presentations or suggesting new ideas, or difficulty getting to work on time.

Growth can happen any time there is discomfort or dissatisfaction. Find ways to enter the challenge on purpose. Redirect break room conversation away from complaining to something constructive and interesting. Exceed your boss's expectations on the simplest report. Fine tune your e-mail skills. Set your freaking alarm clock. 

Make a game of being awesome on the job and you will drastically improve your experience. You'll become less susceptible to the small stuff. You'll discover abilities you didn't know you had. You'll see your coworkers in a new light. You'll realize there is life all around you.  

Your cubicle is a wonderland.

Ever forward.
