Shamou, when you are passionate, how do you know you are? How do you tell?
Of course this is a question from NLP, and it is one of the few things in NLP that are actually useful.
You see, passion is one of those fake nouns. Like love, strength, sleep, happiness, pain. They are not things, they are processes going on in our minds and bodies. If we become aware of how exactly such a process goes on, we can do intersting things. When I found out how my pain unfolds, I learned to create pain-killers inside my body. When I learned how my "awake" process works, I can go from asleep to fully awake (or vice versa) in three steps and two seconds.
Of course, when you deal this way with value loaded matters like love or passion, it destroys the romance and mystery. I guess that it is one of the reasons people do not like NLP, or Pick-up Artists. People don't like autopsying love or friendship.
