Enthusiasm is an exaltation of soul. A lively manifestation of zeal. A
keen interest in people and things at home and abroad; it has been called “The
Fortune-Teller of Life.” Enthusiasm is compelling, and sweeps everything before
it. The root word from which we get enthusiasm actually means “inspired” and
one truly filled with enthusiasm is like one inspired, as if possessed with a
divine power..., which one actually is. We become enthused in the consciousness
that we are God-sustained and filled with God-power. Such consciousness makes
our enthusiasm irresistible. – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind
What if we answered every call
that we receive as if that call is the one that brings us what we need to
prosper in all things? The five or more telemarketers who call my number daily
would be surprised at my enthusiasm as I answered. Of course, as soon as I know
that what they present is not for me I politely end the call. But, even some of
the most farfetched offers remind me that I am constantly thinking and
constantly inducing thoughts of prosperity, which attract ways to use my wealth
or care for my health that I never thought of before.
The timeshare folks spark my
desire to travel. Construction companies, HVAC, and handymen remind me that
prosperity includes expert care and repair of my home. Pick a product or survey
and I will find something connected that affirms my prosperity if only my
willingness to allow that these people whose calls often come when I am busy
contribute to the economy that allows me financial freedom.
Yes, all of the above is a
stretch of the imagination, a mind game; but my mind, which is my use of divine
Mind calls prosperity to me through the power of my thoughts selecting my
experiences and allowing the infinite Mind as Law to bring to me every good
thing I require. We are constantly calling to us the people, things, and events
that we dwell upon in our thoughts. When we allow our enthusiasm free reign
with our imagination and we play a game of hide and seek with our desires, we
discover that they become clearly visible in every scenario that we conceive of
and that the desires we expect show up quite speedily, sometimes, in surprising
ways.
Zeal for life and all of the
adventures of living makes us dynamic and vigorous. It reveals love in so many
ways and calls love back to us. Who doesn’t love being with a truly
enthusiastic lover of life? Zeal for life is an inside job. We create it for
ourself despite any circumstance. Each of us is as powerful, perhaps more
powerful than the brilliant yellow dandelion that breaks through the solid
sidewalk one cell at a time as it grows from hidden seed to glorious maturity.
I call upon my divinity, my
Oneness in Spirit. Spirit answers in, through, and as me, and as all other
sentient beings to bring to me the prosperity that I know as mine. Daily
contemplating Spirit, I realize increase in my prosperity, which I attract by
zeal and zest for living. I receive my own, release my own to serve me, and
watch it increase wonderfully. By gratitude, I claim it and so it is.

“First
you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a
definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will
give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is
the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest Holmes
