“Fires can’t be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.”
James Baldwin
It is a trait of character that enables one to approach the daily grind with the enthusiasm and joy typically reserved for a rare and desired event. To invest yourself fully into the smallest moments, making it a reflection of the best that is in you.
If you can approach things from a perspective of privilege instead of duty, then you get to partake in the joy those moments bring.
You GET to do those supposedly menial tasks. Even if it is only taking out the trash.
This level of effort, engagement and enthusiasm for making the most out of every instant – and you – is never wasted.
It all adds up. Nor can it be lost.
It all adds up.
For nothing is ever wasted. You may think those situations do not matter. But they do.
Adding fuel to the fire.
YOUR fire.
