Attack Monday

 It's a new week folks, another opportunity to put your lives on hold for a little bit - *swap your real life for your working life grinding away for paper (called money) that the government extorts from you by way of taxes, excise and duties and corporations drain from you through increased product and service prices and shrinkflation.* *** *** Hmm...that doesn't sound very inspirational right? I suppose that, and other such thoughts, come to mind on Monday morning and in truth it's pretty much the case, but a small shift in mindset can help turn it from negative to positive. I don't like having to go to work but front up each day seeking to be the best version of myself, to carry out my role professionally, with diligence and care and to ensure that I deserve what I'm paid. I apply effort and ownership, discipline and responsibility towards my tasks and always come away happy that I've done so. It gives me self-respect, has furthered my career (and raised my incomes) and leaves me feeling that the fact I've swapped out my life to be there has some personal value other than the financial. *** Happy Monday folks; be your best version knowing you'll find greater self-respect at the end of the week looking back.
