The first kind is simply to spend all your time eating and sleeping.
The second is to tell yourself, “Someone like me will never manage to perfect themselves.” Then you stop trying.
The third kind is to waste your life on tasks of secondary importance. You spend all your time trying to resolve minor problems, one after another in an endless sequence. You tell yourself that once you’ve finished this or that project you’ll start giving some meaning to your life.

Quote Of The Day:
“To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known,
And I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time”

At first, is it possible to make a living by doing what you love?
Yes. It is possible.
But it will require serious discipline with your time. You will need the fullsupport of your family.
Step 1: Find Your Passion.
You won’t know your passion until you’ve tried it for a while. Your passion may be something you can’t possibly know at this point in your life.
Just assess your general interests. Look to the intersection of your two primary interests.
Use your day job to support this period of exploration and practice.
Step 2: Set a consistent scheduleand stick to it.
Whether you spend 1 hour or 4 hours a day, be committed and be consistent.
Step 3: Build a portfolio and startworking with clients (or selling).
Think of an adequate number of portfolio items—double it.
Step 4: Save every bit of money fromclient work (or sales).
This is the money you use toturn your passion to a fulltimepursuit.
Step 5: There is never going to be a “perfect time” to make the jump.
There will always be a “leap of faith” moment.

If you really want to get someone’s attention, send them a FedEx
package. Not a simple letter, but something a little bulky.Spend a few dollars and include something that adds a little bit of
dimensionality to the package, something that might be memorable.
Include a brief note about who you are and specifically why you think
connecting would be valuable. That’s all you need to say. If you have
the person’s email address, follow up via email and simply ask them
for a time that you can take them to lunch. If you don’t have their
email, include yours in the note. Often, at least one out of two or
three times, you’ll get a reply.
