5. Enthusiasm – En Theos means in God. You must have enthusiasm in your life and your endeavors. If you don’t have it, you can get it as you devise goals and achieve them. Enthusiasm is directly related to hope. Set your mind to enthusiastically embrace practices of your achievement.

6. Persistence – In Bible there is a story of a man who had a late visitor; man asked a friend repeatedly to loan him some bread with which to feed visitor. Finally, friend relented and gave man his request. Do we need to be persistent in our endeavors? Absolutely. Crops do not grow unless farmer is persistent; sports victories are not won unless players are persistent; no one graduates from college without persistency.

7. Vision – If you don’t know what you want, if you have no vision of how you want your life to be, you are headed in no particular direction. Any destination must be OK. If you’re unhappy with your life, discover a vision for yourself.

8. Faith – For hope, you must believe things will work out; you are capable of achieving; you have talents and abilities and you’ll be rewarded as you complete your goals. My best suggestion is to have faith in God for your very existence. You’re not promised a lovely walk – it’s often a difficult and long journey. But He is there and He does care and He wants you to be ever more energized for eternity.

This is not proverbial 'stopping to smell roses along way'. Although we need to remind each other to even do that. This challenge is to purposely allow little things in life to come into focus. Purposely cultivating an eye to see past moments 3D reality and allow divine essence of moment to be imparted. To at least try to partake of life given to us on a level that can infuse such a blessed life force of a moment that actually connects us with life giver, our YaHWeH (God). In so doing we can add to divine continuum of blessings for not only ourselves, but for many others. This is an acknowledgment of YaHWeH (God) and ultimately it is YaHWeH (God) acknowledging us. The divine transference of YaHWeH's (God's) life force continued in each of so called little things of life.

It has been said ..."We are all dying to live and living to die". But breath of life from YaHWeH (God) has divinely structured life force within us and outside of us. This life force is in many different levels, seen and unseen to natural eye. But eye is also divinely structured to see past natural with life force of YaHWeH (God). To be able to see past ourselves can be a wonderful new adventure. For truly there are still many wonders to behold that have not met eye yet. No matter what your age may be, no matter what your beliefs may be, no matter where you may be right now; there will always be many more of little things in life to set your eyes upon and receive life force of its blessings.
