Be Enthusiastic About Everything You Do

"Nothing great will ever be achieved without enthusiasm." —Ralph Waldo Emerson

Enthusiasm is a feeling of enthusiastic interest in a particular subject or activity and an eagerness to be involved in it. Every morning start your day with enthusiastic anticipation and expectation. As you open your eyes say to yourself: "I believe that this brand new day will bring me nearer toward my goal" or something similar. Let your first words start your day with enthusiasm. 

The problem is that many people don't clearly and specifically define their goals and as a result they cannot burn with a strong desire to see it become a reality. The enthusiasm which will ignite will burn brightly when you clearly define what your goals are and focus on them.

Moreover, it is worth noting that sometimes we can cause our enthusiasm to achieve ambitions and goals to diminish. This usually occurs during the planning stage when it is easier to cultivate a negative attitude, or when we begin to wonder how it is ever going to happen with all the obstacles on the way to achieving the goal. Soon, the thought of having to pay a price of any kind becomes so daunting that our enthusiasm can begin to falter.

To become more enthusiastic about your goals one way to achieve this is to list the reasons why you want your goal, and also the major benefit you'll enjoy once the goal is achieved. You should list the benefit that will excite you, that will truly give you a sense of satisfaction, confidence, and well-being. This and all the reasons why will provide the energy and enthusiasm to enable you cope with all the obstacles you will meet on the way to attaining your goals. 

Furthermore, begin everything with enthusiasm. If you are not excited no matter how you show it (you know when you are excited), then you have stated your goal incorrectly. Your enthusiasm can only stem from your excitement about what you are doing. Enthusiasm is the most wonderfully contagious commodity. It has the wonderful capacity to grow the more you share it and will affect almost anyone it touches. 

In addition, it is important that you use your words to describe how you feel about what you want to achieve to help you project a positive self-image of you being an enthusiastic person. Take each of your goals (in every area of your life) and tell yourself that you really want to achieve it, and that you love every effort you put in so it can become a reality. Say out loud, " I am becoming more enthusiastic about achieving this goal (specify the goal) or something similar. You have the power to choose what you want so let your heart guide you in the goal-setting process to help you set exciting, yet challenging and realistic goals. I want you to know that you can become enthusiastic about everything you do.

Reach Your Goals

Each New Year brings the chance to start over. For some people they set goals and make New Year resolutions, but less than half of people who make New Year Resolutions actually  fulfill  them. If their goals are really important things they want to do, have, achieve or become, why is it that when they decide what they want (in every area of their lives) they don't get it?  Everyone can come up with a list of reasons why they didn't achieve what they wanted, but we have to learn to think of solutions to our problems, not finding someone or something to blame. This year, stop the cycle of resolving to make change, but then not following through. In this post, I'll give you some tips to help you avoid making the mistakes that prevent many people from achieving their goals (and keep their resolutions) in every area of life. 1.

Develop a Strong Desire to Succeed

God has given all living creatures the instinct to survive but He has given us another quality which sets us apart. Mankind has an in-built desire to succeed, something which is as natural to us as breathing. Humans are by nature goal-striving and we are not happy unless we are functioning in this way. There is only one success; to be able to spend your life in your own way. You already possess an unlimited force within you to do this, what is required is the programming of the ultimate computer— your mind. You are the programmer and with the right techniques you can instruct it to select what you really want. We become what we think. Each of us becomes exactly what we program our minds to be. A prosperous person programs prosperous thinking into his or her mind and a miserable person instructs his or her mind to make them unhappy, mediocre, boring, and "average". Your mind is like soil in a garden— it does not care what you plant— it will always nourish it.  Tak...
