Enthusiasm & Joy
Throughout the years, I have discovered the powerful connection between
* enthusiasm and creativity
* enthusiasm and energy
* enthusiasm and joy
* enthusiasm and success
and this is just for starters.
As serendipity often goes, I came across the following as I was looking through my files for something completely different:
Enthusiastically,

* enthusiasm and creativity
* enthusiasm and energy
* enthusiasm and joy
* enthusiasm and success
and this is just for starters.
As serendipity often goes, I came across the following as I was looking through my files for something completely different:
Neale Donald WalschMay your journey be one of great joy.On this day of your life...know that enthusiasm is half of the journey to success, and all of the journey to joy.
If you're going to do something, do it with gusto. Don't do anything half-heartedly. That dishonors the doing and the doer. So go for it. Hold nothing back. In life. Or love. Or anything at all.
Enthusiastically,
Antoinette

Enthusiasm! Points to Ponder
Here is a quote that sums up the essence of enthusiasm:
"...When we are enthusiastic, we move with an affirmative energy that propels us to skillfully and joyously meet all that comes into our experience. We explore the life lessons in our experiences, welcome them, and take them to heart.
Enthusiasm is not something you have to create; it is an organic quality of your consciousness. You have only to invite it forth, to let it arise from within you and let it fuel your endeavors, your creative expressions and your interactions with others..."

* ...one of The 17 Principles of Personal Achievement according to Napoleon Hill, author of Think & Grow Rich? According to Hill,
" Enthusiasm is an emotion, the physical counterpart of our ideas. It begins and ends in our mind. Enthusiasm is harmony, confidence. When you feel yourself taking hold of a definite idea, a definite plan, then you become enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is a feeling of confidence, an awareness of a relationship between oneself and the source of power to achieve. Speak with enthusiasm and positiveness, move with confidence, and observe how enthusiasm grows and spreads to others..."

Enthusiasm Zapped? Revitalize Now
One of the areas of focus for the 2010 Month of Enthusiasm! is looking at some of the barriers that may interfere with the flow/connection/expression of enthusiasm. The various roles and demands of our everyday lives, personally and professionally, can cause us to feel as if our enthusiasm has been zapped and wondering...
What to do when your get up and go got up and went SM
Here are suggestions for zapping the Zappers:
· Be honest. It’s okay. Almost everyone experiences them.
· Break them down. For example: communication and stress have many aspects; so, what is it specifically about either of these that zaps your enthusiasm?
· Make note of them along with any key insights related to the experience(s) and how you overcame them. This is one form of continuous improvement, which ensures we practice self-care. It also is a helpful reminder when we get involved with the natural ebb and flow of life.
· Identify three things you do to refresh and rejuvenate, i.e., ignite your spark of enthusiasm…
in your personal life
1.
2.
3.
@ work

Enthusiasm! Wisdom & Insight
Following are two quotes you might find insightful, especially when it comes to igniting the sustaining spark of enthusiasm.
You do not have to like what is going on in your life, but you must accept that it is going on...Failure to accept reality is a denial of your power to make a conscious choice. When you do not choose, you live by default. You are a victim of circumstances.
~ Iyanla Vanzant
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose.There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.
~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Monday Sparks!
Our Monday Spark for this week begins with a quote from W. Clement Stone
Did you know?
…It wasn’t until I began delving into studying enthusiasm that I realized how little many of us know and understand about the subject. Some basic awarenesses include:
* Everyone has enthusiasm. It is innate within us.
* Different personality types and behavioral styles express enthusiasm in different ways.
* Enthusiasm is often thought of in positive terms; though a small percentage of people view it negatively.
* There is a short-term and a long-term focus.
* The physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and energetic aspects of your beingness are affected. Enthusiasm is holistic.
* Enthusiasm is a powerful gift and tool. Everyone has the ability to generate it in themselves and others.
There is so much to know about and experience with enthusiasm. You owe it to yourself to harness this dynamic force within you and in your life. Start today by asking yourself how enthusiasm shows up in your life.

"Enthusiasm is a state of mind that inspires and arouses a person to action, it is contagious and effects not only the enthused, but everyone with whom he or she comes in contact…Enthusiasm is to a person what gasoline is to the engine of an automobile; the vital moving force…If you mix enthusiasm with your work, it will never be difficult or monotonous. It will be fun and exciting…"

Enthusiasm! Wisdom/Thoughts
I love to collect quotes, as many of you know. Here are some of the Wisdom and Thoughts on Enthusiasm that I have gathered over the years.
"Enthusiasm dances in the blood stream of the great saints and sages and all the true leaders of the world. Enthusiasm enables a person to realize his goal. Enthusiasm makes you soar. When you become awre of your own great capacity for enthusiasm, you realize there is something sacred within you."

3. Plan a good day.
4. Pray a good day.
6. Fill the day with enthusiasm.

"Living fully and joyfully all the years or our life is the ideal we desire. Living our purpose, living our talents, living our dreams. Enthusiasm, not empty hype, but genuine, from-the- soul enthusiasm, is the key element that enables us to open that fountain of worth within us and call it forth to share with others."
Joyce Cooper

"Zeal is the power of intensity and enthusiasm. It, like imagination, is what fires our souls and helps us over the hurdles of life, including the part of our being that wants to keep us safe and secure and tied to the way things were.'

Getting & Keeping Enthusiasm!
Getting & Keeping Enthusiasm! In Times of Change & Transition
Following are things to consider when in the midst of change and transition.
* Change is a natural, normal part of life.
"People don’t resist change; they resist transition. It is difficult to leave behind the “old” ways, even if the new way is exciting and appealing. People resist the loss of their identity (and sense of security)... "
~ William Bridges
* It is natural to experience a range of emotions when in the midst of change and transition. Denying your feelings can lead to increased stress, health issues and depression.
* Creating a plan of action is one way to navigate through change and transition allowing you to take charge of your life.
* Enthusiasm is a powerful gift and tool. Everyone has the ability to generate it in themselves and others.
* Different personality types and behavioral styles express enthusiasm in different ways.
* There is a short-term and a long-term focus, both for change and enthusiasm.
* The physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and energetic aspects of your beingness are affected. Enthusiasm is wholistic. Consider what you can do from each aspect to take care of yourself, revitalize and recharge. Examples include: exercise, take a walk, meditation, listening to soothing music, watch a funny movie, visit friends, cook a meal, read inspirational books, spend time in nature, work a puzzle.
* Use your enthusiasm to discover creative ways to effective handle the change and transition taking place.
* Take time to unplug from technology, outer distractions and anything that can zap your energy and enthusiasm. Do this on a regular basis even if it's only for a half an hour (a day would be optimal).
* Tap into your resiliency factor.
* Seek the support of a coach or mentor to assist you during this time.
And finally getting & keeping enthusiasm in these times of change and transition is possible especially when you objectively trust yourself and trust what you know.
With Joy & Enthusiasm!
