How To Become Enthusiastic

"To be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic."

While no one wants to be fake, there is a cause-effect between the act of smiling and feeling good.

I have a small ritual in the morning. The atrium of our office building has a bare floor, and the segment of the building where I work is carpeted. When I step onto that carpet for the first time, I use it like an ignition switch that powers my smile. A day full of smiles has to begin with a smile, so building a trigger for it just made sense. In fact, I tell myself that the primary duty of my job is to smile, which goes along with being peaceful. Some days I do better than others... it's in an evolving state of perfection.
