Enthusiasm comes from two Greek words: en (within); theos (God).
Therefore, enthusiasm means God within!
Since God is not condemning, complaining and criticizing you, then when we ourselves do these things, we know it is not God within speaking!
But, your Creator is within you enabling you to speak words that build up instead of tear down; words that encourage rather than discourage; words that admire rather than disparage; words that compliment rather than destroy.

Hi Gwyn, thanks for the thoughts on enthusiasm in your posting. I never knew the origins of this word. Your comments are so true. Keep sharing the gems!
It was great to meet with Brian and yourself on Thursday in cluster. Looking forward to continued experiences of "God-within" (enthusiasm).
PS. We'll be sure to drop by for a cuppa next time we are in Morwell :)
