ENTHUSIASM MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
These days enthusiasm is spontaneous for me. There have been times when enthusiasm has been hard-work.
Those difficult days putting one foot in front of the other demanded a heart of enthusiasm. It was “fake it till you make it,” or “act as if” days.
The beauty of enthusiasm is that it’s a choice. We can clothe ourselves in enthusiasm by a determined decision. It is this simple. Today I live enthusiasm.
Nearly 50 years ago a man told how he became a millionaire. He sold Swipe Soap. He recruited about 50 salesmen. They all went door to door.
PMA was the key. Positive mental attitude. Each morning the boss demanded each sales person to attend a 30 minute PMA session.
“How is your PMA?!,” he shouted. With immediate response everyone stood to yell, “boy am I enthusiastic!”
Hundreds of thousands of NBC athletes learned PMA! One spine doctor told me, PMA got him through med school.
Enthusiasm makes the difference. Enthusiasm is God’s gift to you and me.
