Great topic. I used to always say that once you get cynical about a job, it's time to change positions or move on, but if you enjoy the actual work sometimes it is really about a perception shift and not getting sucked into the collective office negativety, or the office politics, or your own negatively. That's a low level way to operate anyway and sometimes it really is as simple as seeing things for what they are and approaching with a positive mindset.

100 percent. You reminded me of a checklist that I use throughout the day to stay on track in terms of maintaining a positive mindset, and it's especially useful when you are in the midst of negativity:

1. See clearly

2. Act rightly

3. Accept and endure
