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’, but,
What is deepest in us is of God.^
