I do have passion in taking photos and this year I am thinking If I could use my passion as a source of income. I know I have to invest in gears and I have to enroll in a photography class to gain more knowledge. What I wanted to share is, it feels so great to do what you love and at the same time, you are earning money. What are your passion? would you use your passion as a source of income too? :)

I have a passion in card making and other crafts, but I think I lack the skill to turn it into a business.

@Biankee Oh trust me, I've done lots and spent thousands of money on my hobby. But none came out good enough to be sold. I've been doing it for years. And I do it when I want to relax and just enjoy my life.

Don't tell yourself that you can't until you've tried. :)

I don't have a passion yet. I love animals and foreign languages. But I think it's awesome to earn money using a passion. Work becomes enjoyable.

Yes. It would not become a burden to do what you love. I do have a stable job though and I love my job too its just that I wanted to do other things and make money from it.

A habit? I've read some books and habit is really powerful. Maybe that could earn you money someday you'll be surprised that you have inspired and change the lives of other people.

@Biankee oh so you haven't heard of Steemit.com? Just sign up and don't forget to take a screenshot and copy your ALPHANUMERIC generated password in a safe place. It took 2 days for me to get approved Steemit is just like a COMPLICATED version of Facebook but it pays CryptoCurrency.
