How Enthusiastic Are You Feeling Today??

Found a great quote this morning because I'm not feeling all that enthusiastic at the moment.

"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog!"
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Guess that it is time to give my enthusiasm a bit of of push in the right direction... Lets just say that I had a hard weekend. My mom lives 5 hours each way! I'm just too tired to be enthusiastic but that's no excuse
Me

And then I went looking for more!!


*None are so old as those who have outlived their enthusiasm
Henry David Thoreau.

You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.
Colette

People who never get carried away, should be.
Malcolm Forbes

"In things pertaining to enthusiasm, no man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions
Henry Ward Beecher

Enthusiasm is the greatest asset in the world. It beats money, power and influence.
Henry Chester

It's sad that we so often lose our enthusiasm over something that we loved only hours before.
Me

Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend,
but it requires a very fine nature
to sympathize with a friend's success.
Oscar Wilde

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
Dale Carnegie

A Quote About Enthusiasm

A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald, but if he has fire, women will like him.

Mae West

 

I agree whole-heartedly. Some of the most gorgeous guys I have met, sadly  have the personality that would put a worm to sleep!

  Also Available...Thoughts For An Early Morning I think that I began to love quotes when I began to thumb through my mom's Women's Day magazines. They always devoted an entire page to quotes that were sent in by their readers. They were so thought provoking. I always looked forward to reading them. Too Old To Care This is my second most popular blog. It is filled with videos that I have found during the day. It is so easy to miss the good ones. I hope that you enjoy what I have found!!

Where do you find enthusiasm??

I'm usually very enthusiastic about life, but it's not happening today.  But maybe I found out what I WASN'T DOING!!

“Always Remember to take your Vitamins: Take your Vitamin A for ACTION, Vitamin B for Belief, Vitamin C for Confidence ,Vitamin D for Discipline, Vitamin E for Enthusiasm!!”
  Pablo

I guess I need to take a bigger dose of Vitamin E!!  But I do have a tangerine calling my name downstairs, so maybe I will start with that! Pablo, I don't know who you are, but I like the way you think. Off to find out who this guy is lol! I like the way he thinks... kind of off the wall lol.  Awww,
he's a writer!!

Autumn is the Second Spring

“Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower”

Albert Camus
(and some of the best flowers of the season are mums!)

Actually, I think that I like the second spring even more than the first spring!

Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is the most beautiful word on earth!  Christian Morgenstern

... but it seems that it is harder to come by the older we get. I was just thinking of my granddaughter who is not quite two years of age. You can literally see her enthusiasm the moment she opens her eyes each morning. I need some of that!!

A Quote about Enthusiasm

English: Robert Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm; it moves stones, it charms brutes. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton

It's easy to lose our enthusiasm as the years go by, but it seems that we need it on a daily basis. Think back to when you were a child and how enthusiastic you were about everything. Even going to school each morning brought a glimmer of excitement because we really didn't know what would happen! Life was an adventure!

A Quote About Enthusiasm

Most great men and women are not perfectly rounded in their personalities, but are instead people whose one driving enthusiasm is so great it makes their faults seem insignificant.
Charles A Cerami

I need to pump up my enthusiasm today lol... to cover my little faults ;)
