Quotations from
Living with Enthusiasm

"Start everyday with a smile and get it over with." 
~ W.C. Fields

"We have to laugh. Because laughter, we already know, is the first evidence of freedom."
~ Rosario Castellanos

"What I've learned in my years as a competitive wheelchair athlete is this -- what separates a winner from the rest of the pack is not raw talent or physical ability; instead it is the drive and dedication to work hard every single day, and the heart to go after your dream, no matter how unattainable others think it is." 
~ Linda Mastandrea

Mary, you really made me stop and think about a lot of things - yes things have been bad for me in the past, but we all have to look for the positive in every situation we are given. I just wanted to let you know that you really inspired me, and that has not happened in a very long time.
     So for all of this I want to give you a big thank you, and I also want you to know how much I appreciate it."

Christie Strong

P.S. I also want you to know that you have inspired me to take up the violin as I have always wanted to do, so this weekend you can find me at the music store.

 

The first step to waking up your authentic enthusiasm is smiling a 16 Second Smile. Before you click away, please just try this now: Breathe in slowly and smile. As you slowly release your breath, gradually smile as big as you can, so that you create crinkles around your eyes. Show your teeth. Keep smiling and repeat the words "Thank You," while you inhale and exhale - slowly - three times. Now relax.

Science has proven that you have just flooded your body with stress-relieving, pleasure-increasing endorphins that activate your EnthusiMaster (like a Stairmaster or ThighMaster for your mind but much easier, less expensive and more fun!) that will help you stay inspired and energized throughout the rest of your day.
