"As is true with all of our spiritual abilities, zeal is natural to us. To eagerly awaken each day, to enthusiastically anticipate our activities, to forge ahead with gusto, to wholeheartedly attend to all that matters to us — these are common signs of our innate faculty of zeal at work. Zeal is so important that we worry when someone fails to display it, fearing clinical depression or other serious health concerns.
"Spiritual zeal is the harnessing of enthusiasm as a propellant into purposeful living. Zeal is an attitude of forwardness and courageousness. Zeal is single-minded devotion to one's purpose. Zeal is our rightful power of enthusiasm, audacity, and devotion.
"Zeal is enthusiasm. It is our eagerness for life, our interest in and optimism about our intentions and our plans. Zeal is noticeable. People living at high levels of zeal are often described as energetic, bright (as in filled with light), zestful, and exuberant."
