Nothing is more in demand than enthusiasm.

The enthusiastic person gets the promotion, the raise, the benefits and the respect of others and all the friends.  Employers and associates love to be around enthusiastic people.

It would be great if employers were bounding with enthusiasm to inspire others. Consider yourself fortunate if you work for or with enthusiastic people.

So how can we get more of it?

Surprisingly, we can’t simply make a well-meaning vow to be enthusiastic and expect it to work.

Before I give a talk, I physically become animated.  I try to talk with audience members before I speak and to warm them up because it serves a dual function of also stoking my enthusiasm.

We can’t think ourselves more enthusiastic; we have to physically and mentally act it out to get the end result.  That’s the secret.

Try this little experiment:  find an area of life or target a person you know where they could benefit from an injection of your enthusiasm.  Then in your own way, physically and mentally warm them up in an effort to inspire them.

This is a life changer.

“None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm” – Henry David Thoreau
