It’s a beautiful thought, but I disagreed in part with it. You can’t achieve victory if you lack enthusiasm, but you need more than enthusiasm to be victorious. You also need preparedness.
I simply love enthusiasm in general and enthusiastic people! :-) This makes life more beautiful and challenging, doesn’t it?
Every single journey, no matter how long or hard it may seem, starts with a step… Everywhere in life enthusiasm plays a great part, bringing joy, hope and relief for those who believe and feel the victory, the light at the end of the tunnel, now and forever!
Enthusiasm offers that special light coming from inside, the wonderful spark seen in the eyes and the glow on the face!
When being enthusiastic, I feel my heart and my eyes smiling, I also feel like being in Heaven, dancing and singing out of joy of being alive! It’s a great sensation, to feel that everything is possible, that God has already blessed you so much, a lot of gratitude and love spread all over the place!
I also agree with Sangeeta Sinha, over-enthusiasm is too much and can cause problems; it’s always good to keep a balance in everything. But the sparkle in the eyes should always be there! It’s a sign that the candle in the heart is lit! :-)
Lots of love and may God bless the whole world with enthusiasm and innocence!

Enthusiasm is good; equally bad is over-enthusiasm. I have seen cases where over-enthusiasm has taken people over the board.
just remembering this can be of some help:
“I came from greatness, I must be like where I came from. I will never abandon the belief in my greatness and the greatness of others”: Tao
Dear Annie,
I just saw your poem…”believe…”
it’s beautiful.
Didn’t have a chance to tell you that.
lots of love

……
Believe in dreams,
for they come true!
Believe in God for He/She,
make them happen!
Believe in people,
for they can be the messengers of God!
…….
love to you all

Enthusiasm is to be with life, and honour each day She feeds us.
Enthousiasm is to be grateful to the fact we can use it whenever we want.
Love.
Enthusiasm can lead us back to unconditional love and acceptance for all that we are. It is a clue to open many new doors within rather than outside ourselves.
My thoughts are faster than the time it takes to digest them. The other day my thoughts were racing around in my head whilst swimming, and I thought how lovely it would be if someone could invent a ‘thought recorder’, that could be downloaded, then be processed into a story, a book, a lecture, a letter or whatever. How many thoughts get lost, I wonder, for the simple reason that they do not get recorded? Seems such a waste.
This morning in the pool I wanted a camera in my eyes (I know sounds bizarre, but I mean it) for the patterns I saw through my goggles were sensational and worthy of noting so that I could show others.
The things I see are never-ending and the joy it gives me is outstanding.
That’s enthusiasm, and it makes me feel victorious every time.

We must remember it very often. There are very many people who want to kill our enthusiasm because they lost theirs a long while ago.

Enthusiasm is everything ,never loose your enthusiasm ,its the ingredient that makes the recipe for life.

And it is as elusive as Love itself….
