Enthusiasm is the greatest strength on earth: Words from the Ramayana
Here is an anecdote from the Kishkindakanda of Ramayana. Rama is worried sick about Sita and dejected because of separation from her. Lakshmana advises him and asks him to keep up his optimism and enthusiasm. I thought these are great words to live by!
उत्साहो बलवानार्य नास्त्युत्साहत्परं बलम्
सोत्साहस्यस्ति लोके अस्मिन् न किञिदपि दुर्लभम्
उत्साहः= enthusiasm, resolution, perseverance, fortitude, optimism, strong will, energy, continuous effort
बलवान्= strong
आर्य =o! noble one ( Lakshmana addressing Rama)
नास्ति= does not exist
उत्साहात् परम् बलम् = greater strength than enthusiasm
सोत्साहस्य अस्ति लोके अस्मिन् = for the person with enthusiasm on this earth
न किञित् अपि दुर्लभम् = there is nothing that is difficult to achieve.
उत्साहो बलवानार्य नास्त्युत्साहत्परं बलम्
सोत्साहस्यस्ति लोके अस्मिन् न किञिदपि दुर्लभम्
उत्साहः= enthusiasm, resolution, perseverance, fortitude, optimism, strong will, energy, continuous effort
बलवान्= strong
आर्य =o! noble one ( Lakshmana addressing Rama)
नास्ति= does not exist
उत्साहात् परम् बलम् = greater strength than enthusiasm
सोत्साहस्य अस्ति लोके अस्मिन् = for the person with enthusiasm on this earth
न किञित् अपि दुर्लभम् = there is nothing that is difficult to achieve.
Enthusiasm is a very strong force, and there is no greater strength than enthusiasm. For the one who is enthusiastic there is nothing on this earth which is difficult to attain.
