This is Day 39 of the Positive 100, a countdown to Rare Disease Day 2014 and an exercise in being positive despite it all.

Enthusiasm. It is how you embrace your life. How you find passion and follow it, no matter what your circumstances are.

I talk a lot about going whole heartedly towards what you want. What you want to do, what you want to acheive, what kind of life you want to live. And you cannot do that without a healthy dose of enthusiasm.

Whenever I can, I try to be enthusiastic about my work – to find joy in it. Taking photos, writing recipes, designing websites and posters, knitting. These are all things that make me happy when I do them, I look forward to them and every time I get the chance to, I do them with enthusiasm.

Share the positivity on Twitter, Instagram and Google+ with the hashtag #100pI dsitivedays. Also, you can sign up to be emailed a recap each week of the challenge.
