combating the mundane

"normally, we allow enthusiasm to elude us when we are involved in mundane activities, those that have no importance at all in the overall scale of our existence. we lose our enthusiasm because of the small and unavoidable defeats we suffer during the good fight. and since we don't realize that enthusiasm is a major strength, able to help us win the ultimate victory, we let it dribble through our fingers; we do this without recognizing that we are letting the true meaning of our lives escape us. we blame the world for our boredom and for our loses, and we forget that it was we ourselves who allowed this enchanting power, which justifies everything, to diminish."

- paulo coelho, the pilgrimage
