The world belongs to the enthusiastic as they say. The word ‘enthusiasm’ comes from the Greek language and means God within (entheos). It refers to a divine spark or fire that burns within the breast of those with a passion for a cause, job, or life in general. According to Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, “Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shines to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait; the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.” A life full of frustration cannot facilitate ideas; it will only be filled with impossibility. Ideas require a burning fire of enthusiasm for its manifestation. As Norman Vincent Pearle said, “Life's blows cannot break a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm.” Mere looking at the surrounding circumstances we face daily, one can easily throw up the towel in frustration. Despite all these challenges, you still have the choice to stay enthusiastic or go otherwise by allowing yourself to be moving round in a circle of endless disappointment and pain.

You see, you just have to be enthusiastic about life. Enthusiasm is contagious, but so is the lack of it. It is a state of mind. It inspires action and is the most contagious of all emotions. Nothing is as contagious as enthusiasm. It can move mountains. Enthusiasm will not only make you more productive, but it will lighten your burdens and make obstacles easier to overcome. It grants you the energy to succeed and also makes you happier. Charles Kingsley said, “We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief goals of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.”
