Enthusiasm & Joy
* 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

The Fullness of Life
Often clients and program participants ask why issues such as stress, forgiveness, grief and resiliency are discussed in connection with enthusiasm.
The answer: these are all a part of life. To deny them denies aspects of what makes us who we are.
* Experiencing stress that zaps our energy or leads to overwhelm;
* Holding on to resentment, grudges, pain...not forgiving others or yourself;
* Denying feeling grief for losses of loved ones, jobs, other things of importance;
All these can interfere with or even stifle our experience and expression of enthusiasm. They then become barriers to living a life of meaning, purpose, passion, joy, authenticity. This interference can inhibit our ability to be resilient and bounce back from the tough stuff of life that may come our way.
Especially over the past few years it is more important than ever for us to: discover and explore ways to move through and release the barriers so we can more easily connect with, experience and express enthusiasm in all aspects of our lives. As many of you already know...that's when the magic happens.

Points to Ponder for Stress Awareness Month
When you allow yourself to trust joy and embrace it, you will find you dance with everything. –Emmanuel
I love my job…because it is my choice. –Cindy Stroud
Nothing great has been and nothing great can be accomplished without passion.
One reason that we are so lenient with our faults and harsh with others is because we judge others based on their actions, whereas we judge ourselves based on our intentions.
By Rev. Dale Bronner
