There are sometimes that your dreams may look almost impossible to be achieved but there is one thing that will still keep you on the course and will still keep you going, that thing is called "enthusiasm". When you are enthusiastic about your dreams, there is a level of excitement that is fired up within you. At that point, what you will only focus at will be the result. That is the power of enthusiasm.

The first time the senior football team of Nigeria won the Olympic gold medal was in the year 1996. That was one of the biggest football achievement in the history of Nigeria football and the team that won made this feat was later nicknamed the "Dream Team 4". After this impressive and unprecedented victory at the finals, the head coach of Nigeria team was interviewed and he made a very shocking statement. He told the press that the secret behind their victory was enthusiasm.

If you go back to watch the finals again, you will understand what he meant by that. Nigeria was up against the Brazilian side (which was considered the world's top team at that time). Well into the game, the Nigerian side concede goals but they did not concede defeat, they put up a counter fight with the their hopes alive and the victory came at last.

In other fields of human endeavour, you may have extensive knowledge about something. You may also have brilliant dreams, but if all these do not spark up your excitement and your enthusiasm, then it is just like a large pool without water inside it. Putting it differently; enthusiasm powers your hopes which powers your dreams.

Just to remind you; neither enthusiasm nor excitement is gifted, you have to make them as choices. Here are workouts to help boost your excitement level:

  1. Try to believe in not just yourself but also in your abilities to achieve your dreams. When you believe that you are well able to perform a task to achieve a particular thing, you will realize that the zeal to achieve that will be released within you.

  2. Try to limit your expectations from other people. If you put too much expectation on others, firstly it may lead to disappointment when the expectations are not met. Secondly it will make you to live a sedentary life without putting in passion in what you do, this is because of the hopes that others will get it done for you.

  3. You can also draw excitement and enthusiasm from the past accomplishment that you achieved, and it will give you the required zeal for the future goal.
