Barbara Walsh: Is it in you to exhibit great enthusiasm?

Thought for the day

Barbara Walsh
For the Headlight

Have you ever been in the company of one who just bubbles over with enthusiasm?

It seems to be an internal gift.

The spirit actually shines through, the eyes sparkle, the face glows.

What creates this kind of enthusiasm?

Perhaps part of the answer could be:

Don’t dwell on yourself…for when the focus is on others your troubles will not be as troublesome.

I think enthusiasm is contagious.

 Walk with an upbeat person, listen to their words, partake in their activities.

Watch how that person gets involved with others, being aware of the concerns for others. When you’ve been in the company of an enthusiastic person you simply feel better.

Upbeat people have a way of finding and exhibiting peace.

They know how to leave troubles of the world around them then go and find true peace, and contentment.

The joy that emanates from such people is inexhaustible.

I feel that enthusiastic people seem to have it ‘right’ with God.

Instinctively they appear to be faith-filled when challenges and opportunities come along.

Enthusiastic people rely on the wisdom that guides, inspires, and encourages everything they do.

You can be one of those people.

Make your life sparkle, your joy be seen, and let the love of God shine through you.

Spend time in the company of ones who broaden your knowledge of God and His desires for your life…and in your part adding to the lives of others.

Cultivate your enthusiasm and then go out, and about sharing it with all you encounter.

Allow God to open your senses to a world of beauty and diversity.

Renew your joy for what may have seemed ordinary or routine.

You may not splash in rain puddles to show enthusiasm but others will see the beauty of God in your joy in so many ways.

Remind yourself that, no matter what is going on in the world around you, you can always have hope and reason to go on…as you allow joy and enthusiasm engulf you.
