There is no life without enthusiasm

 

Enthusiasm is the nature of life. We often have a tendency to put cold water on others' enthusiasm. Reverse this tendency. Take every opportunity to praise others and support their enthusiasm.  

If you put down others' enthusiasm, the same may happen to you. As you sow, so shall you reap. Recollect how much enthusiasm and joy you had when you went to the primary school. Someone without enthusiasm is like a corpse.  

But as you mature, the enthusiasm curve declines. As enthusiasm declines, we stop communicating. How would you like to see yourself?  

Divine wants you to create more space in you. Cry from your soul for help. This is for those seekers who are weak. Those seekers who are strong with the power of knowledge can sing with that joy of what they have achieved.  

The moment you sing in gratitude, in glory of the divine, enthusiasm immediately dawns in you, and fills you up again. People of one type are grateful for all their growth. Those of the other type are helpless and weak. Both types will be helped.  

Spirituality is not some ritual, or doing something. It is a very pleasant, uplifted state of being and seeing the whole world as all spirit or consciousness. Whatever you do, know that the higher power has the final say and it will always be the best.

Don't lose your smile so easily

 

A research done in England found that a baby smiles 400 times a day, an adolescent 17 times and an adult doesn't smile at all. The more successful one keeps a very stiff face.  

Is roughness a sign of success? Is being stressed a sign of prosperity, growth or dignity? You should smile more. Everyday, every morning, look at the mirror and give a good smile to yourself.  

You know what happens when you smile? All the muscles in your face get relaxed. The nerves in your brain get relaxation, and you get the confidence, courage and energy to move on in life.  

You know, your smile is so fragile. Just one telephone call is enough to take it away. But what is the big deal about your feelings? Bundle them up and throw them into the ocean. Once you are rid of your feelings you can be happy.  

Just see why your spirits go down? Because somebody said something stupid to you. Why did they say a stupid thing? Because they had some garbage they needed to throw out and you were there, ready to catch it, and once you have caught it, you hold onto it so passionately.  

Come on. Wake up. Don't let your smile be snatched away by anybody. Usually, you give your anger freely and smile rarely as though a smile is costly. In ignorance, anger is cheaper and smile costly. In knowledge, a smile is free like sun, air and water and anger is extremely expensive, like a diamond.  

Make your smile cheaper and anger expensive. You are here for a greater cause. Just remember that. Take a challenge: Come what may, I am going to smile today and be happy. Smile more.
