Get on fire. Project a sparkling personality that marks you as a dynamic person. Don't be lethargic in the morning, enthusiastic at noon and lethargic again in the evening. Jump out of bed in the morning with enthusiasm for what's ahead and stay that way until you retire. They'll influence your life in like manner.
Enthusiastic people are the now people.
They are zestful and usually getting much from the current moment. Enthusiastic people will inspire you to achieve greater things in life. Make friends with enthusiastic people. When you are around them, their enthusiasm won't allow for loneliness or fits of depression. You don't need to be an intellectual or have innate talent to attain great success and satisfaction - but you do need to learn and understand the habit of thinking and behaving in ways that will get you there.
