When we start on our journey there are as many knows as unknowns. We build our plan, we act on it, and we measure our success. We do this again and again and we can see progress on so many levels. Alas, with more and more time it seems that our commitment to our plan can wane. We grow bored, maybe? Or we lose our motivation, maybe? And while it is real that these feelings can creep in, we have to work to avoid this fate. When we bring enthusiasm to what we do we change the chemistry of how we feel. We bring that childlike excitement to the activity, and we feel good about it. Since we have agency and can decide how we want to feel about what we do, we should bring an enthusiastic feeling to all that we do. Contrived or real, enthusiasm will make a difference in how we feel about our journey, and we will be better for it and what we accomplish, that is for sure!

Loving life when I live with enthusiasm for the journey
