Through experience, I learned that it's not really what I do, but how I perceive it, that makes what I do enjoyable.  Also nowadays it's more about my work environment and people than my work per se, that makes it enjoyable.

So as difficult as it may be to do, if you find a way to change your perspective enough, it might just fix your issues all by itself.

Changing our perspective is easier said than done, but it begins with the intent to do so...
 

i agree that being able to change ur perception/attitude is very valuable but sometimes i think its good if ur upset with a current situation cause that can drive you to make positive change. i may be stretching what ur saying here but for example if i had a super mundane factory job im not going to try and convince myself that everythings fine and i just need to be more zen, u know what i mean? if i know theres positions i could be in where i could be truer to myself and have a more positive impact (or at least i think i could) then im going to struggle to be happy with a different position.

The further away you are from what you're supposed to be doing, the harder it will be to reach a perspective where you find it enjoyable.  Still, I believe it's doable to change your perspective enough even in extreme cases.  Doable but probably not realistic, if you are doing something very far from what you came here to do.

It's one of the mechanisms we have to know if we are doing what we incarnated to do.  Everything just flows, is easy and enjoyable when you're doing what you're supposed to be doing.

Still I believe that, even if you're working in a factory instead of being a medical doctor, if you can change your perspective enough, you're actually reprogramming your incarnation.  Thus working in a factory becomes normal and enjoyable and not being a medical doctor is not bothering you so much anymore.

I will admit that this sort of work on the self is seriously not easy to accomplish.  It's much easier to change how you earn your living than adapt to something you do not like doing.
