 Purpose
- always know the reason why a meeting is beingheld, so you can plan for it.The second is for
 Participants
. If you know who will be at the meeting, you'llbe better able to define your role at the beginning.Third is
 Prepare
- know what is expected of you at the meeting.And the fourth is
 Participate
: "You don't necessarily have to come up withthe most brilliant solution to the problem being discussed; but if you don'ttake part, your bosses and co-workers will think you have no ideas." -
Alberto Paz
Here are 3 suggestions for connecting to your passion:Pay attention to your gut feelings.Pay attention when you're enthusiastic.Pay attention to synchronicities.Keeping passion alive is about courage, the courage to be who you are,regardless of some of the consequences. Living with passion is about living onthe edge- it's about pushing yourself to grow outside your comfort zone.Remember the message of the movie
Good Will Hunting.
All professions arehonourable, but there is no honour in laying bricks if you have the heart of an artist. There is no honour in a desk job if your heart yearns to roam theland.The point is to strive to know your authentic self and then be it! Theoutcome: a more passionate and meaningful life.© Grace Cirocco ____________________________________________________________

ERSONALITY 
 Neither the id nor superego is realistic. The id demandsconstant gratification; the superego is impossibly idealistic.The ego or "adult" has to deal with reality--and realityincludes (1) the id's emotional impulses, (2) the superego'smoralistic demands and censure, and (3) complex externalreality, including understanding how things really work inthe outside world and how to get along with others. AsFreud said, "Life (for the ego) is not easy!" It has anenormous task and, as we saw in chapter 5, when our ego becomes overwhelmed, we feel anxious. The anxiety maycome from the id (theurges are about tobreak loose), thesuperego (the criticism is devastating), or reality (things arefalling apart in the external world).
 
Trusting Your Instincts
Intuition Can Benefit Your Business & Personal LivesIntuition, also called"sixth sense," "gut reaction,""inner voice- spirit"and other names for thousands of years, is with us all of the time.Space and Quiet.Meditation, where we clear the mind of all but focusing on theintuitive feeling, will often bring us the answer.It is said by many scholars, therapists, philosophers, mentors andtheologians, "All the answers you need are inside of you."The experiences of thousands of scholars and everyday peoplewho have, over time developed their intuitive feelings, and whohave learned how to listen to them and make decisions based onthem, leads me to the conclusion that while it is difficult (moreso for the person who is used to"left brained"(problem solving)and takes consistent practice and desire, developing and learningto trust and use our strong intuitions and our "inklings" can addquality, excitement and great opportunities to our lives.
