5 opportunities you should apply for - Issue #32
Dear you,
A lot of times, we pray for miracles, but we somehow talk ourselves out of applying for opportunities. It is easier to live your dreams when you take advantage of the opportunities that bring you closer to that dream. So, don't pass up on opportunities. Stop talking yourself out of them. Take advantage of the ones that align with your vision for your life, and gradually build the life you dream of.
