Enthusiasm is a dangerous thing. Whether my own or caught up in someone else’s, I often feel as though I’m looking through a telescope -- my vision simultaneously far-reaching and constricted.
Rollicking in the depths of enthusiasm I forget to check-in with my internal GPS, and find enthusiasm has lured me into a forest and enchanted me with the lovely fauna and flora. When realization finally does kick in, I’m lost and all I see are giant, towering trees.
I then spend a great deal of time and energy trying to extricate myself and get back to the path I really want to be on.
Moral of the story -- allow for enthusiasm, but keep a very close eye on your GPS.
