Good morning everyone
What makes you enthusiastic?
How often are you enthusiastic?
How often are you indifferent or luke warm instead of being enthusiastic?
One of the biggest keys to success is to be enthusiastic.
Why?
The reason is that enthusiastic people are the most influential. If a foolish idea and a wise idea are both presented to masses of people, but the wise idea is presented with a lack of interest and the foolish idea is presented with huge enthusiasm, which idea do you think will win the hearts of the people?
If you think it is the wise idea, then you are dreaming about an ideal world and one in which I certainly do not live.
The reality is that enthusiasm is contagious. One of the easiest ways to stand out from your peers is to become the most enthusiastic person you know.
It is also one of the most important skills to master to become more influential in both personal and professional matters.
Edward Appleton even stated that he values enthusiasm above professional skill.
If you can't become enthusiastic about what you do, then think about what you could do instead that you could be enthusiastic about.
Life is short and we all have things that we could achieve with passion and enthusiasm if we are only brave enough to follow our dreams.
Do you want to get to the last days of your life and think about how large parts of it were spent going through the motions rather than living a life of passion and enthusiasm?
I will end this post with a quote by Abraham Lincoln:
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
