ENERGIZE OUR THINKING

WE MUST LEARN TO ENERGIZE OUR THINKING WITH A MASSIVE INJECTION OF ENTHUSISM. ENTHUSIASM - WHAT IS IT? HOW DO WE EXPLAIN THIS MOUNTAIN-MELTING POWER? HOW CAN WE GET IT? THE WORD COMES FROM TWO GREEK WORDS, "EN" AND "THEOS". LITERALLY TRANSLATED THEY MEAN "IN-GOD". WE SPEAK OF SUCH PERSONS AS INSPIRED. IN-SPIRITED PEOPLE! FILL OUR LIFE WITH THE GOD SPIRIT AND ALL KINDS OF POWER BREAK FORTH. THUS ENTHUSISM CREATES ENERGY! IT IS THAT POWER THAT TURNS AN AVERAGE PERSON INTO AN OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL. IT IS THE HIDDEN SPRING OF ENDLESS ENERGY. IT IS THAT BEAUTIFUL FORCE THAT CARRIES US FROM MEDIOCRITY TO EXCELLENCE. IT TURNS ON A BRIGHT LIGHT IN A DULL FACE UNTIL THE EYES SPARKLE AND THE PERSONALITY BRIGHTENS WITH JOY. IT IS THE SPIRITUAL MAGNET THAT ATTRACTS HELPFUL AND HAPPY PEOPLE TO BECOME OUR FRUITFUL FRIENDS. IT IS THE JOYFUL EMOTIONAL FOUNTAIN THAT BUBBLES UP, ATTRACTING PERSONS TO COME TO OUR SIDE AND DRINK FROM THE JOY THAT CRIES OUTOF OUR HEART. IT IS THE HAPPY SONG OF A POSITIVE PERSON WHO SINGS AN INSPIRING MESSAGE TO THE WORLD. "I CAN! IT'S POSSIBLE! WE'LL DO IT." ENTHUSIASM IS THAT LONG-SOUGHT-AFTER FOUNTAIN OF ETERNAL LIFE. OLD MAN STOP TO DRINK OF IT ELIXIR AND SUDDENLY NEW DREAMS. MARVELOUS, MIRACULOUS, MYSTERIOUS NEW STRENGTH SURGES THROUGH THE OLD BONES. DISCOURAGEMENT FADES LIKE THE MORNING FOG IN THE SHINNING SUN. SUDDENLY WE CATCH OURSELF WHISTLING, NOTICING BIRDS FLYING, SEEING THE GLORIOUS SHAPE OF THE WHITE CLOUDS AGAINST BLUE SKY. FROM DEEP WITHIN OURSELF A NEW SONG BREAKS FORTH. WE WHISTLE, WE SING. NOW WE ARE ALIVE AGAIN! IN THIS ENTHUSIASTIC EXERCISE OF POSITIVE THINKING WE MUST WRITE DOWN OUR ENERGETIC THOUGHTS AND LIST ALL THE GOALS WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH.
