Forget Lukewarm. It’s Time to Be an Enthusiast.

Forget Lukewarm. It’s Time to Be an Enthusiast.

“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good.”
Roald Dahl

When you live with chronic conditions, the idea of going “full speed” can seem impossible. Your energy is a precious currency, and some days, just getting out of bed feels like a marathon. It’s easy to fall into a “lukewarm” existence, passively letting days drift by because you feel defined by your limitations.

But I’ve learned that Roald Dahl wasn’t talking about physical speed. He was talking about the intensity of your passion.
“Full speed” isn’t about burnout. It’s about deciding what truly sets your soul on fire—your family, your personal growth, your business—and pouring your heart into it with whatever energy you have. It’s about choosing to be an active participant in your own life, not just a spectator.

For the parents, the entrepreneurs, the network marketers… this is everything. Lukewarm efforts produce lukewarm results. A lukewarm passion for your products won’t inspire a team. A lukewarm approach to your family life doesn’t create deep connections. A lukewarm commitment to your health won’t lead to transformation.

Whether you’re perfectly healthy or managing a disability, the enemy is indifference. Find that thing you care about and embrace it. Love it. Become passionate about it. That passion is the fuel that will change your world.
