Enthusiasm Leads To Achievement

“Without enthusiasm, nothing great was every achieved wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson . With enthusiasm, an average man has boundless possiblites for achievement.

Most of us can cultivate enthusiasm until it becomes our nature. If someone feels habitually tired out and fed  up with ill health or inactivity , it is due to lack of enthusiasm.

What can bring about a cure in such a case? The great need is for some kind of faith or religion. Which gives the individual something he can positively believe in and adopt it.

Study almost any person who lives with enthusiasm and you  will find that he is powered by some philosophy of life. Herbert Gasson, efficiency expert who had a philosophy said; My philosophy of life is to do good and have a good time. Life is  not worth living, if we do not  help others.

There was a  elderly doctor who was 93 and always bubbling with enthusiasm. He was the General Secretary of the oldest association of Homeopathy in Tamil Nadu. He was a walking encyclopaedia on Homeopathy . he did everything possible to make Homeopathy popular. I never found him lazy or inactive.

He did his best to perform any job assigned to him. All this he did at a time when he lost his eyesight in one eye. His wife died and he was struck by paralysis. A model service minded doctor indeed.

Make a telephone call and make a friend or acquaintance happy. He may be in need of words of solace and that will go a long way to make him enthusiastic.

Enthusiasm is infectious. We can deliberately set out to get ourselves strongly infected, by associating with those who are bubbling with enthusiasm.

We can read books written by those who are overflowing with enthusiasm with their ideas. We can go to lectures by enthusiasts when we have an occasion to be enthusiastic. It is always worth remembering that a single thought can transform a life.

Many people find that the job they are doing dampens their enthusiasm. Sometimes they are not involved in the jo0b they do.

But very  often a person who complains that his job kills his enthusiasm is not speaking the truth. He may not have learned enough about it. He may be expecting spectacular results  or promotion too soon.

Greater enthusiasm can be promoted in our lives when we give ourselves a  challenging situation to deal with it may be to find all we can about a particular subject it may be to learn to do something well.  One of the finest recipes for developing greater enthusiasm is simply “Start learning something new”.

Action stimulates enthusiasm. Boredom and lack of interest in life are very often mainly due to insufficient activity in useful directions.

 A living example is to be found in a comparison of two men who both retired in reasonable health at about the same time, one was grieved because his firm would not allow him to work after sixty . he came to regard retirement as the end of real life. He lives on regrets and past memories.

The other man drew up for himself a fifteen –year plan, and started living a new life. He is now dong many works he had previously wanted to find time to do it is always refreshing to talk to him, because he is the mot interesting and enthusiastic individual in the neighbourhood.

If you observe a really happy man, you will find him busy doing something building a toy boat, writing a poem, educating his son or growing roses in his garden.

When we adopt a positive attitude towards life and start telling definite actions, we are sowing the seeds of enthusiasm. Enthusiasm can make all things possible.

Quote from The true charm and power of Vedanta

He who sees all beings in his very self and himself in all beings, cannot feel any hatred for anyone by virtue of that (realization)

 

Vedas

Reality is One, the Wise speak of it in many ways.

Go together, speak together, know your minds to be one. Let your aspirations be the same, let your hearts be the same, Let your aspirations be the same, let your heats be the same. Let your minds be the same, so that you may be of good accord.

Let a man think well of wealth and strive to win it along the path of Rta (Moral Law) and by worship, and let him also take counsel with his spirit and grasp with his mind still greater ability.

Mayh we follow the path of goodness as the sun and the moon follow their path.

May good thoughts come to us from every side pure , unobstructed, overflowing

May we, with our cars hear what is god and with our eyes see what is good.

By self dedication one obtains consecrations; by concentration one obtains grace; by grace one obtains faith, and faith is Truth obtained  Rig Vedas

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
