Despite the burden of suffering, you have no choice but to rise up strong and completely optimistic. Be the spirit of unbreakable will and unfailing determination. If you lose your enthusiasm, circumstances will not have mercy on you.

Drinking caffeinated drinks including high potency energy drinks, and consuming other enablers, we do not need to develop an internal source for the energy, effort, endurance, and enthusiasm needed to confront each day.

In "The Challenge of the Spaceship", a paper that he delivered to his colleagues in the British Interplanetary Society in 1946, Arthur C. Clarke talks of explorers, musicians and mathematicians as people who do what they do not for any practical or impersonal reason, but because they must:

[And] so, if we will be honest with ourselves, it is with us. Any "reasons" we may give for wanting to cross space are afterthoughts, excuses tacked on because we feel that we ought, rationally, to have them. They are true, but superfluous – except for the practical value they may have when we try to enlist the support of those who may not share our particular enthusiasm for astronautics yet can appreciate the benefits it may bring, and the repercussions these will have upon the causes for which they, too, feel deeply.

Democratss haven't been this enthusiastic since February of 2008.

Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are largely driving the surge in enthusiasm nationally. In March, 55% of Democrats and Democratic leaners said they were more enthusiastic than usual about voting; now, 78% are. Republicans and Republican leaners, who held a slight edge in enthusiasm in March, now trail Democrats by a significant margin, with their current 64% enthusiasm score up slightly from 59% in the spring. [ ... ] Democrats’ current level of enthusiasm is one percentage point shy of the group’s high in Gallup’s trend since 2000. That was the 79% measured in February 2008, when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were engaged in a spirited battle for the party’s presidential nomination. Enthusiasm subsided later that year, but by the end of the campaign, consistently more than seven in 10 said they were more enthusiastic than usual about voting. Democratic enthusiasm was also elevated during the 2004 and 2020 presidential campaigns.

Republican enthusiasm has increased too, but much less than that of Democrats.

Enthusiasm is bound to spike when you have somebody to be enthusiastic about. With Republicans, they are just pushing a stale rerun which was bad the first time it was aired.

Enthusiasm is nice, but it's votes which win elections. Ask people you know if they're registered to vote. If they aren't, guide them through the process. Remind them that if they have moved since the last election that they need to register at their new address.
