Our Four-Year-Old is So Enthusiastic about just about everything that when you are around him you cannot help but be Positively Influenced; his Great Enthusiasm is Highly Contagious.
Which is a good thing. A very good thing. It is contagious.
According to www.opposite-word.com, opposite words of "enthusiastic" are:
"apathetic, disinterested, doubting, indifferent, lethargic, pessimistic, unenthusiastic, unexcited,weary"
Collectively......a very depressing portrait of an individual!
These terms all describe people that are, sadly, living their lives with a lack of energy, zest, excitement, and natural motivation.
Enthusiasm is one of the Finer Things in Life! Having it, as a natural trait, is no-doubt a tremendous asset to have to help one navigate through the many challenges and great difficulties we all face from time to time which we all must face. How we handle and overcome these times will largely define how successful we are in life and whether or not we can achieve the personal goals and objectives we have set for ourselves.
Enthusiasm. When you see it: Appreciate it; Catch it; Grab it; Hold on tight. It will help you get through the most difficult times. Having it will be a great benefit. Then pass it along to others. "Pay It Forward." Be a positive influence in the lives of others by being, consistently, Enthusiastic. Upbeat. Positive.
I don't want our Four-Year-Old to ever loose his Enthusiasm.
I hope you too are blessed by the presence of an Enthusiastic Child in your Life. If not, by someone else. Someone, who, whenever you are around them, exudes the great quality of being Enthusiastic. Every time you are around them, you leave them feeling a little bit better. Feeling more confident. Feeling like life is good. Feeling that you can achieve the worthy Goals you have set for yourself.
I, personally, don't want to be around, too much anyway, people who are not Enthusiastic. Just a personal choice. We should associate only with those who will, by their mere presence, help support, motivate, and elevate us.
