Daniel Goleman Passion Quotations

When I say manage emotions, I only mean the really distressing, incapacitating emotions. Feeling emotions is what makes life rich. You need your passions.

Our passions, when well exercised, have wisdom; they guide our thinking, our values, our survival.

Life without passion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off and isolated from the richness of life itself.

It is difficult to spread the contagion of excitement without having a sense of purpose and direction.

People learn what they want to learn. If learning is forced on us, even if we master it temporarily, it is soon forgotten.
