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."

"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.'

Enthusiasm! @ Work: For Leaders
As long-time readers already know, I love collecting quotes. Following is one that was included at the bottom of a recent e-mail.
"Leadership is about capturing the imagination and enthusiasm of your people with clearly defined goals that cut through the fog like a beacon in the night."I so love my 'work' with/about enthusiasm. One reason: new insights, experiences and observations are always coming to me or others who tell me about them.
Regarding the above quote, effective leaders know that to honor and respect the enthusiasm of their people, work groups and teams naturally fuels creativity, imagination, engagement, solution seeking, improved productivity and much more.
My thanks to Kris Taylor, www.ktaylorandassoc.com, for this bit of wisdom.
And now my imagination is beginning to explore how leaders can "capture the imagination and enthusiasm" of their people, along with how to sustain the results. Watch for more on this to be sure.
With Imagination & Enthusiasm!

Enthusiasm Fuels A Nation
Enthusiasm Fuels A Nation
The spark of enthusiasm has been ignited! People from all around the world have witnessed the power of enthusiasm swell in the United States of America. And on this day, January 20, 2008, Barack Obama became our 44th President.
Time and time again I have heard references to and observed enthusiasm from media, the crowds, campaign workers, people from all ages, stages and walks of life. What began two years ago may have started out slow. Then it began to build far beyond what was ever imagined.
Yes, for the past few months especially, we have seen Barack Obama — a man who is confident, charismatic, insightful and much more — follow his hopes and dreams to achieve, to lead and to guide a nation into a new way of being, in spite of the odds. What we have been witness to is so much more that one man, a man who exemplifies the many levels and expressions of enthusiasm, passion, clarity, focus and engagement.
Throughout the campaigns and election process people have chosen to wake up, show up and take action. They tapped into their own wells of enthusiasm, even though they may not state it that way. With this enthusiasm, together we shall continue to dream, to hope, to rise above the many seeming obstacles before us, individually and as a nation.
We are a part of history in the making. Let us continue to keep our sparks ignited as we harness the power of enthusiasm today and throughout the months/years ahead.
