Keeping work in perspective

So, you know how sometimes you have to eat something undesirable or even disgusting to keep your health (e.g., broccoli)? You know when you're eating it that you don't like it, it doesn't taste good, it is gross - but you still choke it down because the benefits on the other side (health) outweigh the negatives that might be incurred. Similarly, sometimes you may have a really bad day at work. But when you consider all the things that your job provides for: your house, your kids, your pets, your happiness in the "other" - being away from work, work may just be your broccoli that day. Perspective is great in these situations; work isn't always sunshine/lollipops, but it certainly contributes to the health and happiness of the rest of your life.
