We All Have Ample Reasons to be Enthusiast.......

We live in a time in which we have greater freedom and greater longevity than at any time in human history. If we compare the modem era with our previous history, we are very advanced. We can easily fulfill our desires. If we want to listen to a song, we can do so anytime we wish by accessing the song on our iPod or other device. The great King Akbar did not have that ability If he wanted to hear a song from the great singer Tansen, the King   had to wait until the Singer agreed to oblige!

It once took weeks or months to journey from one place to another walking or using chariots, bull carts, or ships. Now, we travel the whole world in a few days by air. So you are very fortunate to live in this modern world.

It is an exciting time for everyone; it is a particularly exciting time for Indians as India is excelling in all fields viz. technology, finance, spirituality, etc. The whole world is interested in India. If you are not excited to achieve success now then when will you be? You have no reason to be depressed,

Conditional Joys Cause Depression

Lack of enthusiasm brings pain, sorrow, misery, agony, Stress and depression. It is a human tendency that people are prone to see a very small dark spot on the big bright white surface and miss to live life happily. We make our happiness conditional on other things happening rather than being happy within ourselves.

A person earns a good salary, but still is unhappy because his friends earn more than him. Jealousy leads to unhealthy competition which creates immense stress.

Despite fulfilling his wife's desires, a husband receives many complaints from her. Uncontrolled desires put people down and also weaken relationships.

Seniors are suffering from not only physical but mental and emotional illnesses may be because they are not getting care, respect or attention. Expectations make life very tough and miserable.

Children protest for not getting designer-brand possessions. Cravings for material objects increases bitterness in relationships between children and parents.

Thus all are unhappy for not meeting their expectations

They lack patience and end their life dreadfully.

The question arises what brings joy to life and allows us to l re life to the fullest?

 Enthusiasm is such a powerful, potential seed that fosters life with

Harmony,

Attitude

Purpose

Prosperity

Youthfulness

We all have plentiful reasons to be blessed and happy. So the choice is yours weather to be "HAPPY" or depressed.

Position Yourself to Be Passionate

Passion - Boundless Enthusiasm: Any powerful or compelling feeling or emotion.

If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Of course, you have to be passionate to achieve your dreams that are aligned with moral and spiritual values. Find your passion, Become it, and let it become you. You will find great things happen TO you and BECAUSE of you.

TO and BECAUSE?

(T. Alan Armstrong)

Once you find your passion that leads towards goodness and to the development of your spiritual values, and once you start to live this passion:

  • Great things will happen TO you. TO is a thing that you experience.
  • And most important of all, Great things will happen BECAUSE of you. BECAUSE is a thing that happen not just to or for you, but to and for others, which is the most important of all. After all, the way to get somewhere in this life; the way to be happy; is to help others.
