Part 26 of a 26 part series!!!

There’s not a lot that can be done with the letter “z.” I think of Zorro, the masked superhero; very cool guy! I think of a local comedy club, Zaney’s where I have seen some hilarious actors present stand up. But, as I thought about the best way possible to end this alphabet series, I settled on the word ZEALOUS.

Zealous is not a word that we use very often so before I proceed let me define it for you: ardently active, devoted, or diligent. Perfect! I mean what better way to end this series than with a word that includes in its meaning the words active and devoted!

I have spent the last 5 weeks writing about topics that are active and full of devotion. In this life, we are either growing or dying. WE ARE NOT STAYING THE SAME. We were created to thrive, not merely survive. Zealous is a wonderful word that can be associated with this belief.

Are you zealous? If so, what specifically are you zealous for? I think you know what mine are (triathlon, surprising my wife, meeting new people.) Zealous people make life more interesting. Those who are filled with zeal radiate with positive energy and are naturally fun to be around.

With the conclusion of this alphabet series, I challenge you to take each word covered over these last 26 days and look to practice them in your daily life. I think this will go a long way towards opening your mind to the things that matter most in this life.

Have a zealous kinda day!
