Enthusiasm displays the exuberance of life that is made manifest in the decision to work and create, to rejoice and dance. It changes the person into an "entheos," that is, someone inhabited by God. . . . Nothing great and truly creative is ever achieved without the powerful influence of enthusiasm.

Leonardo Boff in Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor by Leonardo Boff

 

To Practice This Thought:
Be on the lookout for souls who display an exuberance for life, and follow their example.
