Ignite Enthusiasm – III
I have wrote 10 out of 16 things you can do on a daily basis that will help you ignite enthusiasm.
11. Surround yourself with enthusiastic people – Enthusiasm really is contagious. When you feed off other people’s energy, great things will happen. On the flipside, get rid of the negative people in your life that zap your energy. If you can’t convince them to be enthusiastic, avoid them.
12. Perform random acts of kindness – As Jesus says, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” The one thing the world can always use more of is kindness. Always be on the lookout to help someone in need, even it’s just with a friendly smile and a kind word.
13. Derive strength from your role models – Choose someone in your life whose success you want to mirror. It could be a friend or someone you’ve never met but has attained a level of success that you wish to achieve – and then emulate them. Motivational expert and bestselling author Anthony Robbins says it best …
“If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.”
14. Don’t listen to the naysayers – Don’t listen to the people who criticize you without being constructive or always seem to discourage you.
15. Get your energy level up – It’s easier to be enthusiastic if you have lots of energy and feel good about yourself physically. Eating the right foods and exercising regularly will ensure you have energy to spare at the end of every day.
16. Remember, it’s you who chooses how you view the world – You determine your destiny. It’s as easy to have a negative view of your world as it is to have a positive view, so always choose the view that makes you happier and moves you closer to your goals.
Henry Ford once said … “You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. With it, there is accomplishment. Without it there are only alibis.”
Enthusiasm is key.
If you’re not excited about the product you’re selling or don’t particularly have an interest in your chosen niche, not only will it come through in your writing, but it will also hamper your efforts to get new clients.
If you feel you could use more enthusiasm in your life, acknowledge it. The sooner you do, the sooner you can start to fix the problem.
Why not start right now?
Print these enthusiasm suggestions out and make them part of your day. People will start to take notice, and I guarantee you’ll be more successful and live a happier, more satisfying life … and because you’re more excited about your career, you’ll write better copy, too.
