You are so right when you say that... if you talk about controlling passion to some people... they will look at you as if you were not playing with a full deck...
But what these people do not realize is that if they cannot control their emotions... they are no better than robots... being controlled by outside influences...
There are over six thousand words in the English language describing emotions... however, if you ask people how many emotions that they experience on a regular basis... they cannot name more than five or six...
In the tape that I was talking about (click on the "Robbins" hyperlink in my signature to see it) Robbins' message is in great part the following...
"Emotions are the forces of life… when emotions come into play, the wiring of the brain changes in the way it functions… if we can get the right emotion… we can do anything…"
To a large extend... emotions are the primary motivational factor and the primary source of energy and drive... so, it is extremely important that we learn to master our emotions and get them to empower us in order to maximize our potential...
