Motivation, Enthusiasm and Passion

Have you noticed how some people that are not very enthusiastic are also fairly unmotivated at the same time? They also don’t seem to comprehend this wonderful word called passion. If you find someone who’s passionate about their job, their loved ones or a particular activity that they’re involved in, a hobby or gift of creativity, you’ll notice that they also have a very high level of Motivation as well as enthusiasm.

A good example of this is when you watch people who are in love and have nothing but praise for their loved ones and nothing but joy and happiness to share with other, “Oh I love this woman, she is this and she is that and she is everything.” These wonderful three words, Motivation, Enthusiasm and Passion are divinely linked. They’re pretty much the ‘holy cow’ trinity of
power that a person has within themselves. If you can encourage growth in anyone of these areas, being passionate about something, whether it be something like fishing or painting or writing, it could be anything, you’ll find that you’ll be a
little more enthusiastic about that thing you were more passionate about.

As well, it would be the thing that would wake you up in the morning with a spring to your step and a bounce to your gait, instead of the normal dragging yourself out of bed. A good example is watching how children behave on school days. It’s such a chore to wake them up from Mondays to Fridays if not very difficult. You have to scream at the top of your lungs and threaten them and a half hour would have passed by the time they finally drag themselves out of bed saying “Oh, do I have to go to school?” But, when the weekend comes, you don’t even have time to get your bedroom slippers on before they’re bouncing on your bed, “What shall we do today Mum…Dad?” and they’re so enthusiastic because now, they’re out to have fun.

So there’s a fun element that’s involved in enthusiasm and passion, you feel very motivated and you jump out of bed. So imagine, if you love the job you’re doing, my gosh, how would you wake up in the morning? With a big bounce or would you be dragging yourself out of bed trying to pick up the broken pieces of the alarm clock that you threw against the wall?

Are you having fun in your vocation? In your relationships? In your home? How would you want to wake up in the morning everyday?
