The enthusiast



A clear sense of self-directed meaning provides us with an essentially inexhaustible supply of motivation.*
Steven Hayes

What he is, he is not yet, but ought to be and should become. Being human is being responsible because it is being free.**
Viktor Frankl

To find our enthusiasm is to
find our responsibility, and
to find our responsibility is to
find our freedom, becoming
what only we can be.

Our enthusiasm is found within,
Our deepest and most joyful response to
what exists around us, and a life
without enthusiasm is a life of
regrets.

Enthusiasm: ‘inspiration, frenzy’
from Greek enthousiasmos,
from enthousiazein ‘be inspired or possessed by a god.’

What is deepest in us is of God.^
