Turn your passion into your Career  just now i have seen this Blog on internet. 1. Opportunity lies in every difficulty.  Own this concept. A bad attitude can be your worst enemy.  It’s far too easy to feel defeated or depressed when things get difficult.  You need to be your own biggest cheerleader, fire up your ambition to succeed and listen to you gut.  If it’s telling you to get out of what you’re currently doing, or away from the path that you’re on now, listen carefully.  Recognize the new opportunities presented by your challenges.  They’re always in there. 2. Start by Tapping into Your Passion It’s there, whether you recognize it or not.   We’re all passionate about something – even if it doesn’t strike us as job or career worthy.  Think about all of the things that get you fired up, excited, eager to act…write those things down.  Ask close others to help add to the list.  Sit with that paper for a few days.  Add notes, details, and illustrations.  Fill the page with things...

In spite of her fear, she put on the gear, took a holdon the rope, and started up the face of that rock. Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she was hanging on there, the safety rope snapped against Brenda’s eye and knocked out her contact lens. Well, here she is on a rock ledge, with hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet above her. Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but it just wasn’t there. Here she was, far from home, her sight now blurry. She was desperate and began to get upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to find it. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found. She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the...
