I've often suggested here that you find those things that are most important to you, and center your life around them. Enthusiasm is to be found where those most important things you value reside. These are things that light you up. It is easy to know what lights you up because you know feeling, no matter how fleeting. Just before rational mind starts convincing you that you are mistaken, your heart soars for a moment. Your eyes light up and you hear that "Yes!!!" from deep inside. This is seat of enthusiasm. Grab it, examine, it and, above all, do more of whatever it is that creates it!

For today, no matter what rational mind says, look and listen for places, events, ideas, people and activities that make your heart shout that loud "Yes!!!" . Spend some time deciding how to bring more of those things into your life. You deserve to live enthusiastically.

It's usually easy to find a lot of agreement for negative responses in life. For example, it is not difficult to find someone to complain to, and with, in coffee room at work. What if you simply stopped doing that? Focused on positive, or said nothing. What if you made an agreement with yourself that whatever you said in future would be solution-oriented rather than problem-oriented? Stepped past problem and into possible solutions! This is not denying problem. Of course, they need to be identified. They just don't need all that investment of time and emotion.

Identify and move to solution!

Remember to ask for help! It is a great compliment to others to ask for their help. It shows confidence in their ability to generate solutions with you...not for you!

For today, notice your focus. Is it on problems or solutions? How quickly can you reassemble your thoughts to say something that focuses on solutions?
