Hey Tresure. I wanted to commend you on stating your desire to follow your passion/heart in whatever direction you take. Until two years ago I had believed that my only choice was to work a "9 - 5" job. "Trading my time for money" That is so not the case. I was presented with a gift by my good friend which is now my home-based company with a network marketing company. What sets this company apart and why I know I've found my niche - my real passion - is because this company's focus is on personal growth. They believe in helping others get what they want and in turn, you will get what you want. To me, that is what life is all about. We must help others achieve their goals and live the life they've always dreamed of. I've always loved helping others and now I get to do it on a grander scale. I now feel so purposeful and know that I have so much to give others to help them see their specialness and to help them believe that they can make a difference in the world.

I am looking to follow my passion and my heart and listen to my inner guidance in finding my true direction.

That is a good thing to remember - to go for numbers in applications without the emotional attachment about being rejected. Thank you Matt :)

Magdalena......thanks for the invite. I just went on the website you recommended. Good stuff. I think we all struggle with procrastination. I think that the application issue you speak of is also in part a fear thing.... feeling that you commit some energy to capturing a job and then receiving a rejection. I think back to when I came from Rhodesia to England a long (long :) !!) time ago. My friend Arthur and I needed to find a job or fail in our attempted 'immigration'. Our funds were running out. I purchased a book on jobs and wrote about 75 applications. I got 5 interviews and two job offers. It is a numbers game. Try not to be too vested in the processes ... just go for numbers without the emotion of "what if they don't want me". Many will. You don't care. It's the one or two that want you that you are trying to find. Good luck!

Looking for a job it's been a tough thing for me. It's being changed now. The worst obstacles I had to face were procrastination and belief that it is not worth to send job applications because "definitely it will be rejected".
A very good tool for procrastination I found on http://zenhabits.net/page/2/ "Task Ninja: Form the Action Habit" but I see now that there are so much more great articles. I highly recommend articles by Leo Babauta (he is an author of a book "The Power of Less").
