"Success is going from failure to failure without losing the enthusiasm"
-Sir Winston Churchill-
Enthusiasm (ἐνθουσιασμός) root - en-theos = in God. An enthusiast is a person inspired by god. *see: Biblical inspiration - (inspiration Greek - θεοπνευστος - Theopneustos = literally God breathed) When the early Christians would see someone convert to Christianity there was this overwhelming joy that followed the gift of salvation but they had a problem there was no word to describe this feeling so they combined the two words (in God) creating the word (entheos) from which we get the English word Enthusiasm.
In modern ordinary usage, enthusiasm has lost its religious significance, and means a whole-hearted devotion to an ideal, cause, study or pursuit.

Spirit-driven success requires E.N.D.U.R.A.N.C.E.
Between starting out and succeeding in one's vision...lies character development. Where faith muscles is developed and character being built. God's purpose is always greater behind every seemingly overwhelming problems.
He who endures till the end shall be saved!
Never lose heart, never give up
Even when sometime life comes crashing you down
Remember to pray, and be willing to get up
The devil can never keep God's chosen down
Its only when steel is placed in super hot flames
That it starts turning red and soft
To be hammered straight and smooth
To be shaped into beautiful works of art

When things in life gets hot and unbearable
where darkness begins to close in and overwhelm
And the tragedies of life begins to wack and hit you hard
Endure, be strong, and hang on!

No one will know what masterpiece would God come up with next,
if you don't finish that race!
