Think you can't do it? Read this ...

If you are feeling overwhelmed about the risks you must take to achieve your dream, consider C.J. Hayden's story. A runaway at 15, she lived on the streets for a year before she found work that would pay the rent on a room of her own in a shared apartment.

In that year, she was raped, became a drug addict, and struggled every day for survival and a way out.

She made it.

Today she is a college graduate, published author and well-known speaker. Her books include Get Hired Now! and Get Clients Now!(TM)Get Clients Now!.

It is tempting to give in to feelings of isolation and overwhelm.

Don't.

Come back here and read CJ's story. Re-read the story of Ralph Green, US Paralympic skiier, in Find Your Passion. Post your frustrations and fears in the Comments section below and check back for encouragement from others who have been there too. Do the Ten Minute Meditation, read your action plan outline every day, and watch this space for Grow Your Plan, coming soon.

There are thousands of heroes like C.J. Hayden and Ralph Green who have overcome incredible odds to build a good life and live consciously. Talk to your neighbors, your friends. You might be surprised what you will learn.

Get inspired.

Amen to your line of work and your blog. Finding a job that's in line with one's passions is so important. One of my favorite cocktail party / dinnertime questions is "If you could do ANYTHING, what career would you pick?"

It's a great inspiration on these people who have so much of ups and down in life and still able to achieved success in later part of their life.It really take courage and perseverance to do that.I believe if you want to do it ,you can do it.That's what I was told.

I feel that its important to do the work you are passion into or else its will be difficult to progress in life.Not everyone is so lucky to be able to do that as some find a job for the sake to earn money but has no passion to do the job at all .Its just because it pays well,why not?Don't some of us in this world are like that.
