Often, these very challenges are exactly what we need to learn in order to take the next step on the path. They sharpen our perception and add to our skills. Following this path that is uniquely ours is not easy, but then again the rewards are extraordinary, because they enrich the soul. It is always best for intention to be aligned with one's natural energy, exuberance, and joy. As humans, we are blessed with a powerful energy called enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is the foundation stone of intention.
To pursue our objectives without enthusiasm is like sitting in front of a fire on a video screen. We can see the fire, we can hear it, but it gives no warmth. Without enthusiasm, we are going through the motions of pursuing our aims without the fire of our innate vitality. Building on this natural vigor will animate the power of our intention. A simple way to be certain that we are radiating with this vital energy is to do an inventory of our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions.
