"What are you enthusiastic about?
The root of the word enthusiasm is entheos. It literally means 'God Within.' Just think, when you feel enthusiastic about your dreams it means that God is speaking through you and saying "yes" to your goals! The feeling of enthusiasm is one of the ways your intuition speaks to you. What makes you excited, happy, delighted? What do you look forward to each day? Do more of it!"
(This excerpt comes from a book by Lynn A, Robinson. Divine Intuition: Your Guide to Creating a Life You Love , The Top 10 Ways to Use Divine Intuition In this book, Lynn discusses the idea that this wisdom does exist - it comes through the whispers of your soul via your intuition.)
As an Executive Coach, I have started to record my thoughts and "intuitions" by way of this coaching "blog" in lieu of a formal newsletter. I had another thought last week that I had planned to share, but just as this excerpt proclaims, I listened to my intuition. A summary of Lynn's book came before me this morning by no coincidence. My intuition was moved to ponder this a bit more deeply and to share this insight as it may have meaning for you also this week.
Most of my pondering is related to work and living out our careers as part of our overall life. A topic I have much enthusiasm for. One very powerful side of all of us is our spiritual side. My Christian faith is strong in the belief of God. I know everyone must have some sense of a spiritual being out there that is guiding their life.
Isn't it powerful to think that your enthusiasm for a dream can be so connected that it is divinely directing you. If you have talked with me for any length of time, you know that I waited 40 years to live one of my dreams...having my own horses. (The picture above is Julie, one of my Paint Horses.) What a joy I have spending my free time trail riding and just being outside with nature and my horses. Additionally, I have taken up scuba diving and enjoy that with my family. I definitely have enthusiasm for these activities and it has rounded me as a person!
Work has always been a central part of my life and I have designed my profession to focus on the most enjoyable part of my previous job as an human resources executive...coaching people. It's great that my circle of interests seem completed.
You too can have that. Now think of your own dreams. Are they with family, at a special place, working in a certain field or on a certain product, doing your favorite activity? I can just feel you becoming enthusiastic just in your internalized thought process! Now think about what the divine message "within" is telling you. So follow your intuition; follow your dreams; and be enthusiastic! We all know how to care for ourselves if we just listen.
Warmly,
Gerri
