Every man is enthusiastic at times. One man has enthusiasm for thirty minutes, another has it for thirty days - But it is the man that has it for thirty years, who makes a success in life.

...let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Hebrews 12:1

Measure wealth, not by the things you have, but by the things you have for which you would not take money.

...for a mans' life consists not in the abundance of THINGS which he possesses.
Luke 12:15
