It is not so easy to just find another job, let alone one that give you any kind of emotional, mental or financial rewards. And most definately there are very few bosses who would or could actually change their behavior. Cubicle workers are stuck in the muck. That is reality. Quite unrealistic.

Not every employee has ability to control their work-life balance. Separating work and personal life depends on your attitude towards how you live. Most business types combine the two. There is a great example in the “Personal Boundaries” blog I read from <a href="http://ronntorossian.com/?p=137" rel="nofollow"> Ronn Torossian.com</a> of 5WPR. He mentions the combination has many rewards. To be happy at work, you must not only enjoy what you do, but have a good team around you. They may eventually blend into your personal life for the better. For entrepreneurs, it’s good to have your clients and potential clients’ as friends. Great piece John.

I totally agree that enthusiasm grows if you do what you like but then how many of us actually get jobs that we like?

That shows. Once people realize they're in charge of their own happiness, then their approach to work often changes. Job security becomes grounded in a state of mind. As you realize you impact the lives of people around you and the direction of your career, your thoughts and attitude may naturally become far more important.
