‘And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.’ Galatians 6:9-10 (ESV).
Principles for success, whether personal or business related, can ultimately be traced back to the Bible. You will find that God is very invested in your success, and He provides you with all the tools, talents, and grace you need. Some of those tools are good habits you can develop to strengthen your character.
Have you ever had an enthusiastic teacher or colleague change the atmosphere in the room because their passion for the subject or their confidence in the team became contagious? Scripture indicates that it all starts with delighting in the Lord and His Word. (Ps. 112 AMP read the whole chapter).
As leader of an organization, team, or family, if you approach the office, a Zoom call, or a meeting with a lack of enthusiasm, you cannot expect the people around you to be encouraged or upbeat. With enthusiasm, you can overcome obstacles that would otherwise feel impossible. Try coming with enthusiasm to your leadership role, whether it is your family or your colleagues. When you do, you will find that others enjoy being around you and just how contagious an enthusiastic attitude can be.
Activation:
Do you remember a time when you knew the atmosphere needed to change in your office? Were you able to help with that change?
Journal about a day with lots of meetings, whether in person or online. Include your thoughts on how each meeting could have gone differently with a little enthusiasm.
Declaration:
I will not grow weary of doing well. I will influence and attract others with enthusiasm. I will be a change maker in my sphere.
