Enthusiasm

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart.” said Paul of Tarsus. Work at it with enthusiasm he might have added. Enthusiasm shows. It shows to family, to friends, to staff, to patients; it is a deep-seated quality that leaves a lasting positive impression. Excitement, on the other hand, is a quick flash of light, a momentary boost that quickly abates.

Question yourself---are you excited about your practice as this new year begins or are you enthused about your practice and its possibilities for this year and all the years to come? Choose enthusiasm, and if it’s missing, question yourself about what it would take to generate that “TGIM” (Thank goodness it’s Monday) attitude that you might have experienced when you first began practice. Further, talk with advisers, with peers, with staff, with family to explore ways of recapturing ENTHUSIASM with capital letters. You’ll be glad you did!
