do what you love<<>>love what you do

The thing about doing what you love for a living is it never feels like work. I believe the best way to find successful balance is when you get paid to do something you love. There is obviously a place for delayed gratification when one's passion is discovered & The fact that you are passionate about what you love won't make you mind doing it for free and doing it so well that your passion eventually speaks for you. 

Finally when you have achieved that state of public recognition doing what you are passionate about you get the right to place whatever premium you want on that passion. "Don't sell yourself short"

Dreams can be a hard Nut to crack...

I must admit: making dreams come through is  hard.  Living in an enviroment like ours where there is too much for too many, but few people hoarding all that much resources it can also be very discouraging. so many young people try so hard to get into the labour market and then try so hard to get out of it once in.

The ancient mould of getting a degree or two and getting a good job... doesn't really cut it these days since almost everyone in the labour market has a degree, doesn't it make any sense for you to stand out in some way?

As much as it feels like things are not right or you do not have enough to make your dreams happen, there is only one important fuel required of you: PASSION. It is the fuel that keeps you going when that required capital ain't forth coming or when doors of potential are slammed in your face.

A word of advice to you no matter how bad things look, keep your dreams alive in your heart & mind cos it will always give you hope; secondly spend 40-70% of your time everyday thinking and doing at least a few things about that dream and watch the power of positive attraction help you make that dream a reality.

na my own be that.
