“A talkative bird will not build a nest” – West African Proverb.
Enthusiasm is best when controlled. Even more important is that you have a firm grip on your fervor and direct it to deliberate ends.
A talkative person is still enthusiastic, but such enthusiasm is often wasted if it is not directed right. To be enthusiastic is a great thing. It charges the body with such power and energy that one becomes unstoppable. It is like it unleashes all the God-force that accomplishes anything.
In everything you do, master your enthusiasm lest it masters you. Oversee your emotions and be well grounded enough to pick and choose who gets a share of your zest. For it works the universe expanding miracles.
Africa is made up of probably the most enthusiastic people in the world. However, this enthusiasm is often misdirected. Take charge of where your energy goes. Enthusiasm, in its original meaning, is to be inspired or possessed by a god. Tap this power and use it to advance towards your goal. All change happens one person at a time. Be that person at this moment.
