Having passion is to have intense, compelling emotion or conviction that inspires action. We are passionate when we demonstrate vigorous and untiring activity in support of that emotion. Passion also is shown when we display eagerness and enthusiasm in the pursuit of a goal. A passionate individual is driven to action with dedication, devotion, and fervor. It gives meaning to our work and deepens our sense of self-worth.
Passion also inspires our creativity and pulls our true potential into play.
We are compassionate when we have empathy and deep understanding of the needs and concerns of another, with a genuine desire to help. Compassion also is demonstrated by showing humaneness and charity toward others. Integrity is shown by a firm adherence to our principles, with honest and honorable behavior in support of those principles. Our integrity is visible when our ideals and beliefs set the boundaries and context for our actions. To speak and act in a manner consistent with and reflective of our beliefs and principles also demonstrates our integrity.
