Enthusiasm - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Enthusiasm - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Scott H. Young has a great post on enthusiasm: Enthusiasm is like any other skill. If it is continually practiced and exercised, it gets better. If it is not, then it will atrophy. Enthusiasm rarely comes naturally and it must be the result of conscious effort. Practicing the ability to use enthusiasm can keep you excited and driven even in horrible circumstances. Go read it, its a great piece. My ability to be enthusiastic is without a doubt my greatest skill. When some new idea really grabs me, my enthusiasm Makes me do something about it Helps me get others involved by infecting them with enhusiasm Gives me the energy to get through the difficult parts and the problems Lets me believe I can do it or at least that it will be fun trying Enthusiasm also gives me a certain half-blind optimism. I see mostly the opportunities and internally minimize problems and risks. Which is a great thing when youre trying to do something big. Looking back, all of the greatest things I have achieved look nearly impossible on paper. If I hadnt had my enhusiasm to slightly blind me to the challenges involved, I would probably never have tried it. And I certainly wouldnt have succeeded. So I say be enthusiastic and let it show!
