We need to provide energy to our human body/vehicle. Without enthusiasm, we have no energy. Endless enthusiasm comes from immersion in our purpose, which is completely endorsed by our true selves (revealed through Habit #2, self-integration). Purpose-driven enthusiasm transforms work into a passion, failure into a lesson, and hurdles into untapped opportunities. Success then becomes a joyful and wondrous journey of continuous discovery and breakthroughs.

Enthusiasm is also a catalyst to bring about enthusiasm in others, and empowers and inspires creativity in all that we do. Without this creative fuel, it will be an uphill task to produce the excellence required to continuously improve our improvements, which is essential for sustained success.

It is important to remember that enthusiasm is a byproduct of practicing the prior 8 Habits, and an essential state of mind for comprehending and living all 25 Habits.
