Enthusiasm  

Posted by: Amarendra in , , , , , , ,

For the ancients,
enthusiasm meant trance, or ecstasy
-- a connection with God.
Enthusiasm is agape directed
at a particular idea or a specific thing.
We have all experienced it.
When we love and believe from the bottom of our heart,
we feel ourselves to be stronger than anyone in the world,
and we feel a serenity that is
based on the certainty
that nothing can shake our faith.

This unusual strength
allows us always to make the right decision at the right time,
and when we achieve our goal,
we are amazed at our own capabilities.
~The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho
