Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: You often have heard the word "Enthusiasm" used. You have used it often yourself. But have you ever thought about what the word really means — from what source it originated — what is its essential spirit? Few people have. The word "Enthusiasm" is derived from the Greek term meaning "to be inspired; to be possessed by the gods," the term having originally been used to describe the mindset of an inspired person who seems under the influence of a greater power.
A person filled with Enthusiasm indeed seems to be inspired by some power or being higher than themselves. They tap into a source of power of which they are not ordinarily conscious. And the result is that they become like a great magnet, radiating attractive force in all directions and influencing those within their field of influence — for Enthusiasm is contagious, and when really experienced by the individual, it renders them a source of power and center of mental influence.
