Aargh, I’m Bored!

Ever hear yourself saying that? Let’s look at it.

Bored is the *antithesis* of Enthusiasm. *(big word, look it up to keep you busy, not bored)

In this day and age, it is “cool” to be laid back, to “chill,” to not get excited about anything, be blasé, look like nothing bothers you or matters to you, be mellow. Come to think of it, it wasn’t much different in the “old days” for young people to think and act the same way. .

Here’s the thing…it’s really hard to get enthused and excited about something when you are busy chilling and being laid back. I know- Been there, Done that.

It’s all about attitude”So what can I do about that?” you ask.

1. Observe what’s going on around you.
2. Open your eyes to all the possibilities in this world
3. What is it that turns you on, wakes you up, gets you thinking?(besides the opposite sex)
4. Guess what! That’s the beginning of enthusiasm. That’s attitude change!
5. Pursue it and Run with it. Get Excited about it!

Remember, Chill is the opposite of Enthusiasm. There is a time to chill, but not when you want to succeed and make the big bucks!

• • We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.”

— Charles Kingsley

First you must remember that “Enthusiasm breeds success and success breeds enthusiasm.”

When I run out of enthusiasm for a project (which is why you don’t finish) here’s what I do.
The first thing I do, on a continuing basis, is congratulate myself for even the tiniest success. I celebrate all victories, no matter how small. That is HUGE in maintaining enthusiasm.

• It may just be a fist pump like you see Tiger Woods do after a great shot.
• It may be a “pat on the back” that I give myself.
• I may hug myself.
• I may jump in the air.
• I may skip around like a kid.
• I may do a “ta-da!”

A friend of mine, who was also a speaker, bought an “Easy Button” from Staples. When he completes any tiny project or task, he hits the “Easy Button” that says “That was easy.” You know what? I went out and bought one, and now I do the same. You would be amazed at what it does to your attitude!

My goal is to Create a World-Wide Epidemic of ENTHUSIASM.

Enthusiasm is

• Contagious
• Infectious
• Viral
• Catching
• Creative
• Positive
• Inspiring

With Enthusiasm:

• All things are possible,
• Energy is produced, not consumed.

In fact, the only thing that Enthusiastic Energy consumes is our doubts;

• So, rather than spending time and energy doubting
• We are investing that same time and energy being productive!

Being productive makes us happy, and that leads to more enthusiasm, giving us the Recognition and Realization of even more possibilities, which creates MORE Possibilities!

Possibilities produce more and more Enthusiasm. Therefore:

• Creating enthusiasm is the Great Productivity Booster, both personally and professionally.

• When people are Productive, they Prosper
• When they Prosper, they are Happy and continue to produce
• Continued Production leads to Provision for their families and others
• Providing for others leads to JOY
• Joy leads to excellent Health
• Excellent health leads to more Productivity…..

What a great cycle!

I have enthusiasm for life, and my chief goal in life is to spread that enthusiasm to others!

I want to live a life enthused! I want others to live a life enthused!
I want others to see that Divine Spark — that Divine light that shines in me and energizes me!
I want to spread that light, that enthusiasm throughout the world, so that others will catch it!

“So what about passion?” you may ask, dear readers. Yes, This world we live in talks often about “Passion.”
The difference is this:

• Passion can be negative.
• Passion can be destructive.
• Passion can be selfish.
• Often those with “passion” malign and tear down those who are not in agreement with that passion.
• Passion, without enthusiasm, can see possibilities for the domination of others, for putting them down, for destruction of others and institutions in order to fuel that passion.

Enthusiasm, as defined by being Indwelt by the Divine, can only Create.

• Enthusiasm, by its very definition, is Creative, Builds up, Exhorts.
• It sees Possibilities for Creation, for Life.
• It Cannot tear down and destroy.

In this place, let’s TALK about WAYS to CREATE ENTHUSIASM in our lives so we can build up and motivate those around us:

• Our Children
• Our Teenagers
• Our Mates
• Our Co-workers
• Our Employees
• Our Employers (Yes, they get “bogged down” too!)
• Our friends
• Everyone we come in contact with.

Please Post Your comments.

To your Success,
Enthusiast

The word “Enthusiasm” is derived from the Greek “en-” meaning indwelt, or having inside, and “theos” meaning God or the Divine. Today we might say “Inspired” or “Inspiration.” (Breathed life into)

So what is enthusiasm? This whole site is here to discover and discuss what we all think and feel about this super-motivating quality.

This editor believes Enthusiasm is that quality or emotion which makes us seem or feel we can do anything or be anyone. It is that “Spark” or “Spirit” that moves us and makes us love what we are doing. It is that quality, gift or “Charisma” that makes others want to be around us, to follow us. It is our “Self-motivation.” It is our “Get Excited.” It is our “Get Motivated.”

On this Blog, we will explore all the ways Enthusiasm helps us to grow and prosper in all our endeavors. We welcome your posts, your ideas, your thoughts, your comments. From time to time we will make recommendations of products or websites that we think you might appreciate. It is our intent to eventually have a newsletter and/or a daily quote.

This site is dedicated to your self-motivation, increased productivity, joy, happiness and prosperity. Those are the “Secrets of Success.” That is the stuff that makes for an “Abundant Life.”

Enthusiasm is Viral, Catching, Contagious. Let’s all catch it and spread it.

Let’s give the world an Epidemic of Enthusiasm.!
