The every day grind has this way of zapping our enthusiasm for life. Consider the term “hump day”, coined for the midpoint (Wednesday for many) of the workweek, the light at the end of that long, dark tunnel to the next day off. And particularly the past year and half in all this viral muddle, we are struggling to overcome the inertia of “life on pause”.
What best generates your enthusiasm for living? For myself, I would say it is something to aim for, a passion, a purpose. I’m happiest when I am being creative and working towards a goal.
Are you living your most passionate life? If not, what is there in you that would light a spark to do that? After all, your life’s too short and precious to not live it enthusiastically and passionately, each and every day! It’s time to create your magical life.
For more reading, you’ll find some brilliant insights and suggestions in this article: What to do when you lose all your enthusiasm.
Inspirational Quotes:
“Enthusiasm can help you find the new doors, but it takes passion to open them. If you have a strong purpose in life, you don’t have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there.” ~ Roy T. Bennett
Believe in your heart that you’re meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles.” ~ Roy T. Bennett
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Live your truth. Express your love. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Walk your talk. Dance and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering.” ~ Steve Marabol
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” ~ Nelson Mandela
“Life is an adventure of passion, risk, danger, laughter, beauty, love; a burning curiosity to go with the action to see what it is all about, to go search for a pattern of meaning, to burn one’s bridges because you’re never going to go back anyway, and to live to the end.” ~ S

I’m working on some books. Two will be ready soon, and these two will be in PDF format due to the visuals are important. One is nature-related and incorporates some art work I did some years ago from a California trip. And the other one is an art instruction book, learning to draw for beginners.

Thanks, we are very lucky in Tasmania, we have a moat! But no doubt the drawbridge will have to be lowered eventually once vaccinations rates are up.
