Ignoring your passion is like dying a slow death...Passion whispers to you through your feelings, beckoning you toward your highest good.

You will triumph.

The analytic psychotherapist thus has a threefold battle to wage -- in his own mind against the forces which seek to drag him down from the analytic level; outside the analysis, against opponents who dispute the importance he attaches to the sexual instinctual forces and hinder him from making use of them in his scientific technique; and inside the analysis, against his patients, who at first behave like opponents but later on reveal the overvaluation of sexual life which dominates them, and who try to make him captive to their socially untamed passion.

Great teachers know they have to cultivate curiosity, passion and creativity in their students.
Ken Robinson
