Enthusiasm: How Do I Develop It?

If I may ask you: How much do you enjoy living your life? How enthusiastic are you about waking up each morning to see a new day. When you are enthusiastic, you are positive and that makes you stay motivated and happy no matter the circumstance that comes your way. The happiness we are talking about is not the one that comes when you get promoted at workplace, when a baby is born or better still when you win a lottery. It is also not about those moments when we feel the feeling of happiness – especially when we are hanging out with good friends, or when we are enjoying an evening out with a loved one. All these are great and wonderful but they come and go. The real happiness that we are talking about is the enthusiasm that comes from the enjoyment of life that we derive from living everyday, the appreciation of the life that we live irrespective of the good times or bad times. A lot of people die before their time due to lack of joy. There is power in making yourself happy and staying enthusiastic. Life is too short to make it a boring adventure.

How do we develop enthusiasm? Start by being aware of your possession---the gifts and talents that you possess. Wake up each morning and appreciate God for all He has endowed you with. Love what you do and do what you love. Chuck Gallozzi, a renowned writer and speaker, said, “Vast as the universe is, we can contain it within our mind! How incredible we are! Like the universe, we have unlimited potential! Isn’t that something to be excited about? Enthusiasm can be an expression of the joy of existence.” You can succeed at almost anything for which you have limitless enthusiasm. Rejoice always and make yourself happy at all times.

No one can make you unhappy except by your permission. It is you and you alone that decide to be happy or joyful no matter the surrounding circumstance daring at you. The attitude of the mind affects the expression of the face, determines action, changes our physical condition and regulates our lives. There is a saying that, “It only takes few veins to smile but it takes over 80 veins to squeeze your face; and for that reason we have many aged looking people who could have been young looking if only they had put some smiles on their faces”.

Remember, you have only one life, not two; if you do not celebrate it, who will? Therefore, stay enthusiastic about life, and choose today to celebrate your life with happiness and joyfulness while you still have it.
