Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is the greatest asset in the world. 
It beats money and power and influence. ~ Henry Chester
It is no more or less than faith in action.


Years of focusing on counseling and changing my life, I sometimes need to refocus on fun stuff.  Enthusiasm keeps a person moving when others quit.  Watching the Olympics is watching enthusiasm at an international level.  Watching the athletes perform feels like plugging into enthusiasm combined with years of training for a spectacle that will be remembered for years.  (I still remember watching Olga Korbut get a perfect 10.) They worked so hard to get this far.  Now is their moment.  The difference between Gold and Silver medals comes down to split second timing.  A electronic finish the only way to tell who crossed the finished line first. Judging that attempts to be fair but challenges those doing the judging to put aside their differences and consider that performance.  I am enjoying watching the Olympics from the opening to the closing.
