“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enthusiasm.
One of my absolute favorite words.
Did you know that it comes from the Greek enthous ‘possessed by a god” (theos (God) and en (within)).
I love that.
So, when you’re enthusiastic, GOD is within you.
And, equally important, when you are NOT enthusiastic, God has left the building that is you.
Never forget Emerson’s wisdom that “Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is due to the triumph of enthusiasm.”
Find the God within you.
Get enthusiastic.
