Where all you need to have enthusiasm - In fact, I have yet to identify, one single positive outcome or desire or task – where you don't need enthusiasm.
Do you sometimes feel enthusiastic, motivated and energetic when you start something new, but after some time lose your enthusiasm and interest. Most of us would have experienced this phenomenon.
If you want to understand the definition of living life young forever, you only have to look at how to create zest and zeal for life's mundane.
Watch my video on YouTube "Impossible Achiever" of Dr. Bhagwati Oza, the 80+ years old who can show what enthusiasm and living life fully means.

You can have everything materialistic yet if you don't have enthusiasm for life, you are living dead.
When we are born, all of us are born with a large amount of enthusiasm, but in the way in our journey towards adulthood, we pick up many negative beliefs[which are only our interpretations and may not be the absolute truth] – which tells us why something can't be done or why to give-up* and what are possible and impossible etc.
We get burned-out, when our internal reserves of enthusiasm gets exhausted, and we do not consciously recharge it.
People with high levels of energy and enthusiasm often have a number of characteristics in common. They have sparkly eyes, their skin looks healthy, and they tend to smile a lot. There are also certain things they do, which help them to maintain their energy levels
Enthusiasm isn't just more fun, it's more attractive and more productive.
If you're dissatisfied with where you are right now and if You continue to do what you are doing – you will never get different results.
