Acceptance, Enjoyment and Enthusiasm
" here are three ways in which consciousness can flow into what you do and thus through you into this world...The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm...If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others...
Whatever you cannot enjoy doing, you can at least accept that this is what you have to do...Performing an action in the state of acceptance means you are at peace while you do it...
The peace that comes with surrendered action turns to a sense of aliveness when you actually enjoy what you are doing...Joy is the dynamic aspect of Being...
Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you...You will enjoy any activity in which you are fully present...
The joy of Being is the joy of being conscious...
Enthusiasm means there is deep enjoyment in what you do plus the added element of a goal or vision that you work towards...
This is why Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, "Nothing great has ever been achieved without enthusiasm..." - Eckhart Tolle
