SR – Enthusiasm
“#Trust30 (Self-Reliance) is an online initiative and 30-day writing challenge that encourages you to look within and trust yourself.” Today’s Challenge: Enthusiasm
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” is a great line from Emerson. If there’s no enthusiasm in what you do, it won’t be remarkable and certainly won’t connect with people on an emotional basis. But, if you put that magic energy into all of your work, you can create something that touches people on a deeper level. How can you bring MORE enthusiasm into your work? What do you have to think or believe about your work to be totally excited about it? Answer it now.
I’ve actually been thinking about this very thing recently. Mostly in regard to my ‘passion’ (or total lack thereof) for the Self Reliance blog posts and this blog in general. I tend to be very passionate and enthusiastic – but often about topics that make people want to leave a room. Perhaps therein lies my issue: boring content (I woke up today! No way, really!?) equals dull, uninterested readers. I must apologize. Your time is worth much more than I have been offering…as soon as these 30 days are over (or during them hopefully) I will only bend your ear with worthy thoughts and ideas…even if I ruffle a few feathers doing it.
