Using Enthusiasm for Success!
Posted: Aug 21, 2015
The origin of the phrase "enthusiasm" arises from the Greek word enthousiasmos, which ultimately originates from the adjective entheos, "having the god within," formed from en, "in, within," and theos, "god." Since its introduction in the English language in the early fifteenth century, its meaning is now disassociated with religion and god (the word god is "a god" and not "the God", because of its Greek origin) and now means great excitement for, or curiosity about, a topic or cause. It's this excitement, or the feeling of experiencing a god (or the God) within oneself, that is the fuel by which success is powered.
I generally don't think the modern day definition of the phrase does it justice. Enthusiasm is NOT the same as just being excited. Being thinking about something is like being inspired by a supreme being. One gets excited about going on a roller coaster. One becomes excited about creating a roller coaster. Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity.
Enthusiasm will empower you to do anything you need, but most of all it will help you get it done exceptionally well. The feeling of enthusiasm has amazing effects on the physical body as well. Voice, posture, heart rate and energy, to mention several, are typical positively affected when one is filled with enthusiasm. Those around you easily detect this enthusiasm. When another finds you excited ????? about something, it is hard for that person not to fairly share some of one's enthusiasm. This is incredibly important when selling an item, service, or idea to others. With enthusiasm, your success rate increases phenomenally.
Enthusiasm springs from desire and passion. It is difficult to become excited about something such as for instance taking out the garbage, but certainly possible. For example, an inventor on his quest to automate the taking-out-garbage process could enthusiastically sign up for the garbage over and over--the supply of his enthusiasm being the notion of revolutionizing the garbage industry. A great way to become enthusiastic is always to visualize a period when you were enthusiastic about something. Think about what you're feeling, what you're seeing, and what you were hearing. Replay the "scene" in your head before you begin to start feeling the enthusiasm once more.
Use words, body language, and visual aids to generally share your ideas. Use enthusiasm to generally share your feelings. The capability to allow others to share your passion, even though temporarily, is priceless.
