In our career lives, it is inevitable to face situations that may seem to be against us. We often get frustrated when we realize that we have no control over them. That's pretty normal. Although, here on this list are 5 of the things that we actually have control in our chosen careers that might help alleviate our present problems and feelings of frustration:

1. Your attitude towards your job. The author of leading self-development courses Brian Tracy once said; "Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your situation." Most of the time, it is our outlook and perception of things that bring out negativity. If we keep on lifting our spirits up by being grateful, patient and focused, then we might as well just achieve the tranquility that we seek.

2. The people you choose to associate yourself with. Energy does not lie, and energy can travel from one soul to another. If you surround yourself with people who push you to greatness, then everything will follow. And if you attach yourself to those who bring nothing but negativity, then there is a possibility for you to absorb that energy and worse, let it take over your life.

3. The things that you share with others. Setting a good example to your officemates and colleagues is a very rewarding thing. You will notice that the effect you have on others will reflect on you.

4. How well you do your job. In usual situations, our frustrations are brought about by our own doings. If we do well in our jobs, we receive good feedback. If we mess up, then we hear what we have to hear. It depends on us, and our team if we have one, to be able to do great things in the workplace.

5. How you want to be remembered. According to author of books about Salvation Billy Graham, the greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.
