Enthusiasm is one of life's greatest qualities,
but it must be practiced to become
a dominant factor in one's life.
There is real magic in enthusiasm.
It spells the difference
between mediocrity and accomplishment.
~Norman Vincent Peale

From the glow of enthusiasm
I let the melody escape.

Enthusiasm--from the beginning, a remarkable word. The ancient Greeks used it to describe an inspired person: "en" meaning in, and "theos" meaning god. The enthusiastic person, they thought, was one who reflected the presence of an in-dwelling god. . . .
Enthusiasm is more than simple excitement. It also involves affection for the object that arouses it. The enthusiastic person loves the thing he or she feels excited about, great or small, important or unimportant, a marriage partner or an ice-cream cone. When one feels enthusiasm, one gives out love, and this--I'm sure--is the indwelling deity that the Greeks had in mind--or perhaps a fragment of the Kingdom of God that the Bible says is within us. . . .
Because it has optimism in it, because it's closely allied to cheerfulness, enthusiasm has the power to lift people over the rough places in life. Which of us does not admire some friend who has proved his or her capacity to endure staggering blows, keeping their sense of humor, their interest in things, their vitality intact? We marvel, as a rule, that such people are able to retain their enthusiasm. The truth probably is that their enthusiasm--the love power inside--is supporting them.

“To really change the world, we have to help people change the way they see things. Global betterment is a mental process, not one that requires huge sums of money or a high level of authority. Change has to be psychological. So if you want to see real change, stay persistent in educating humanity on how similar we all are than different. Don't only strive to be the change you want to see in the world, but also help all those around you see the world through commonalities of the heart so that they would want to change with you. This is how humanity will evolve to become better. This is how you can change the world. The language of the heart is mankind's main common language.”

“To become a true global citizen, one must abandon all notions of 'otherness' and instead embrace 'togetherness'. The world is no longer white, black, yellow and brown. Through love, tribes have been intermixing colors to reveal a new rainbow world. And as more time passes, this racial and cultural blending will make it harder for humans to side with one race, nation or religion over another. Therefore, practical wisdom should be used to abandon any cultural, social, religious, tribal, and national beliefs of 'otherness' altogether. This is the only way mankind will truly evolve. Segregation is a word of the past. Unity is the key to a peaceful future.”

“Just a simple choice, right now,
between fear and Love.
The eyes of fear want you
to put bigger locks on your doors,
buy guns, close yourself off.
The eyes of Love instead see
ALL of US as ONE.”
~Bill Hicks

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
~John Lennon
