Go for a walk..take a camera...take photos of beautiful things..come home, look at the photos on your computer. Look at the photos that has captured the walk you took. Keep the good photos. You will feel great from the walk and feel rewarded and perhaps inspired by the photos. It will create enthusiam to do other things.....Try it. This is what I do when I feel I hit low points in my life. It works, everytime. Bye bye. :o)

Hello my Truth-seeking Brother,
A good start is to look at the origin of the very good word
Enthusiasm This is from "en-Theos-iasm" which should now mean "GOD within you; and you within GOD."
Just experiencing life might at times become depressing. Turn off the negative, dark TV programs or other bad media and add God's Light into your life ! Wow ! What a difference. Full peace and joy and a much greater love for life, adventure, learning, being, etc.
At age 25 and then an atheist, I was the most cynical, pessimistic and OLD feeling (even though I was worldly successful, happily married, had many friends) -- something was missing in my life ! (a personal story, too long for here)
After fully realized God and Jesus Christ here, as One infinite universe Spirit, I am Spirit Born New; and since that Eternity Event upon and in me in AD1977 and in Eternity Finality Destiny , I now feel great "inTheosiasm" for life ! Now at physical age 68, I feel and act with the drive and curiosity of a 16 year old ! and with many more interests than back then.
If you email me with some of your background and interests, I can share more with you.
Peace and progress,
Brother Dave, a Jesusonian Christian Truthist

If you're a girl,read Cosmo; if you're a man,read Maxim. Kidding. That's hard to answer because there isn't a universal formula for enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is all about passion and you know passion can't be chased. It's one of those things that come to you,not the other way. I'm sure you have something you like the most: an activity,a ritual,a person,an object,a religion,whatever. But consider this: maybe you're trying to be optimistic and maybe you're not cut out for that. If you're not optimistic and feel bad about that,then don't. Because it kind of sicks me to see everybody with a fake smile on their faces saying they're very very happy as if happiness were some kind of drug or something. Happiness is overrated. People want true happiness, they want to have an orgasm everytime they step out of their houses. Well,life's not like that - I'm happy sometimes,sad at other times but most of my time I'm calm and relaxed and I can tell you I have a good time without feeling excited all the time. I do understand that life is too empty sometimes but I consider that a luxury: means we can afford to think while people in other corners of the planet struggle for their lives,for food or for safety. It kind of puts it in perspective,huh?

If you tell yourself everyday when you wake up that you want to be happy about life you will be. This may take a Lil time to do, but you have to do it everyday......your mind is powerful and it will start to believe that it wants to be happy, at first you will feel as though you are lying but in time you will start to believe it. Get rid of all the things & people in your life that bring you down, you don't have to be around these things. Start doing things for yourself every day that make you smile. I know people say that life is what you make it but that is not true. You have to know HOW to make life what you want. People can stand in the way of this, bad friends, bad job, bad situations. Start taking small trips on the weekend to a place you like, beach, park etc. Start looking forward to your day off by planning things to do. Move to a new place if you don't like where you live. Start changing things in your life. Now don't expect things to change overnight, they won't. It takes some time. Smile at strangers, they will smile back at you.

WOW...that is a complex question. One that I would love to elaberate on more but I am at work and don't have time to right now...so here are the basics of how and why I am enthusiastic about life...One you only have one life to live, so live it for God (if you haven't ask Jesus to live in your heart, do that...right now...John 3:16 says: who so ever believes in him (Jesus) shall have everlasting life) and everything will fall into place. Read your Bible everyday and talk to God, he is our heavenly father...its not hard, talk to him like you would a friend, he knows you, he made you. Remember, you are the only one who can make you happy. If you would like to talk sometime just give me a shout on my email..its sassysammygirl@yahoo.com Have a blessed day.

Good question bro. I think its down to trying to live in accordance with who you realy are. I know that sounds a bit flakey and airy-fairy and all but its what I beleive to be true. What I mean by living in accordance to who you really are involves first finding out who you are. You gotta know what you like, dislike, what you stand for in life, whats important to you, whats not, how do you live your life: are you an honest man, are you kind, do you try and help the world or do you try and suck it dry....................there are lots of questions to ask yourself in an effort to come up with a complete picture of who you really are. Its kind of a life long process, but its a fun and amazing thing to discover yourself. And as you go along finding out more and more about yourself you'll automatically go towards things that you like and that suit you. Thats how I reckon you can be more enthusiastic about life: Find out who you are. Just start by asking yourself some of the questions above.
And I dont know if religion is your thing or not but somebody named samantha, above went on a rant about God and Jesus and all that stuff...............it amazes me everytime how christians try and spread "the word" about their chosen faith. Invariably they come off sounding totally bonkers like theyve lost touch with reality. So think about what you say before you say it christians because you turn people away by the way you go on

Great question. I find that I have to fake pretty much everything. I act enthused I act surprised. Ever since I started studying life for what it really was the fun kinda got taken out of it. When you see things for what they really are you realize everything is first of all, not as it seems and second of all, transitory.

Maybe what you need is a religion, Catholic or Christian? You didn't specify weither or not you did but ill assume you dont. I am not here to recruit you but maybe if you found yourself through god you could figure out that you're a very special person and that there is no one else on earth that is like you!! You're are very special becuase god made you in his own image!

live your life how you want. if you think life kinda sucks right now...learn about something new and amazing (i personally chose the path of a new language (Persian if you're wondering) but..that's what i chose) my life has sucked lately..and i found refuge in...learning a new language, cooking, and reading...those are my three refuges, my safe houses...sort of. if there's something you have wanted to do but are to uneasy about it. just do it. don't hold back for anyone or anything...especially yourself. get some great friends...=D i'm good at making people laugh...and i love meeting new ones...but i suppose thru all my babbling i'm just trying to say....live life like you want, don't...be depressed or...whatever becuz of someone or something. do what you want WHEN you want. k? hopefully i answered it...i'm not really sure. lol. cheers!!!!!
