  Now let's dive into today's quote from Paulo Quello, best
• 0:44
  selling author of The Alchemist and one of the most widely read
• 0:48
  authors in the world. He said when you are
• 0:53
  enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy.
• 0:59
  It's very simple, huh? It's very simple. 3 words that
• 1:07
  change everything. Because we complicate this.
• 1:12
  We think we need complicated strategies, complex systems,
• 1:15
  perfect conditions to feel energized about our work, Quello
• 1:21
  is saying. It's simple.
• 1:23
  Enthusiasm creates energy, and that's it.
• 1:28
  When you're enthusiastic about what you're doing, you don't
• 1:31
  need to force yourself. You don't need discipline,
• 1:35
  tricks or motivational hacks. The enthusiasm itself generates
• 1:40
  all the energy you need. Think about the last time you
• 1:44
  were genuinely enthusiastic about anything.
• 1:47
  A project, a hobby, a conversation, a goal.
• 1:52
  Did you feel drained? Did you need to push yourself?
• 1:57
  No, you felt energized, alive. The work itself gave you energy
• 2:04
  instead of taking it away. That's what Kwelu means by
• 2:08
  positive energy. It's not wishful thinking.
• 2:11
  It's a real physical sensation that comes from doing something
• 2:15
  you actually care about. But here's the trap most people
• 2:19
  fall into. They do work they're not
• 2:22
  enthusiastic about, then wonder why they're exhausted, why they
• 2:27
  need constant motivation, why everything feels so hard.
• 2:34
  It's not a discipline problem, it's an enthusiasm problem.
• 2:39
  You can't sustain high performance doing things you
• 2:42
  don't care about. You'll burn out.
• 2:46
  You need constant external motivation and you'll drain
• 2:50
  yourself. But when you have genuine
• 2:54
  enthusiasm, the energy is self generating.
• 2:58
  It comes from inside and it renews itself.
• 3:03
  Kwelu's saying stop making it complicated.
• 3:07
  Find out what you're enthusiastic about and do that.
• 3:12
  The energy will follow. It's a very simple.
• 3:17
  So here's the question, are you enthusiastic about what you're
• 3:20
  doing right now? Really.
• 3:25
  Because if you're not, that's why you're tired.
• 3:29
  That's why you need constant motivation.
• 3:32
  And that's why it feels hard. Find what you're enthusiastic
• 3:38
  about. Do that.
• 3:40
  The energy will follow. It's very simple.
• 3:44
  That's it for today. I'm Anna McGivern, signing off
