Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen. Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen. If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.
There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.
You have the ability to choose which way you want to go. You have to believe great things are going to happen in your life. Do everything you can - prepare, pray and achieve - to make it happen.
So make it happen
Listen to people is good but let them not decide for you.
