theangrytherapist: The New American Dream You don’t have to be a movie or television star to make residual income anymore.  The internet, social media, ability to build a brand from your own home, allows anyone with a passion to create and distribute their own product.  It doesn’t matter what you do.  You can be teacher, writer, filmmaker, knitter, photographer, one of those guys who paints famous faces on dead roaches.  It doesn’t matter.  What matters is that you are fearless about it.   Balls.  Most people are afraid to put themselves (gifts) out there.  We all care what others think.  But if other people’s opinions of you block you from throwing your stone, you will never be able to send ripples.  Instead, you will build something and break it down.  Build and break.  Build and break.  This will turn into a pattern that will leave you discouraged, exhausted, and questioning your story.  You will go from creator to consumer.     “A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.”  Number two.  I know I didn’t announce a number one.  But I didn’t think of a number two until now.  Don’t try to go back and undo.  Keep moving forward.  I understand that writing is rewriting.  I understand that we must hone our craft.  I understand that it takes a thousand kicks to get good at one kick.  What I mean is don’t dwell.  What you created needed to be created in order for you to have created what you’ve created now.  Read that again.  A poem, a film, a book, a song, doesn’t matter.  There is always a process, a journey, and you must know and accept it.  One thing that will stop this path instantly is Failure.  Eliminate that word from your vocabulary.  I’m not saying don’t just say it anymore.  Don’t believe in it.  Failure is a concept created by your own insecurities and limited beliefs about yourself.  Simply put, failure is a false belief, a cognitive distortion, an easy way out.  If you believe in it, speed bumps will turn into giant walls.  You must fall in order to fly.  Ask the Wright Brothers.  There’s no way around it.   Like finding love, success never comes as you imagined or expected.  So when you “fail”, you are actually learning, growing, and moving toward your path.  Failure just means you are becoming a better you.  Unless you believe in it.  You never know how your success will unfold.  You can’t predict where you will get your big break or inspiration, what doors will open and when.  Of course you have to have goals.  But you can’t hold them so tightly that the sweat from your grip blurs what’s written.  Be open to everything.  Sometimes you have to allow your road to appear instead of getting stuck trying to pave one.  And finally, and probably the most important, always live in “what ifs” instead of “what is”.  What if you could make money while you’re sleeping instead of when you’re awake so you can do things that make you feel alive when you’re eyes are open?  That’s the question I’ve been asking myself for the last two years.  And I believe it will be what creates my path.  Once you accept reality, what is, your dreams will never come true.  The only thing that’s a statement is that white fire that burns deep inside you.  Everything else is a question.           The New American Dream is not a picket fence and two point five kids.   It’s a mindset.   Anything’s possible. And if you believe it isn’t, nothing will be. - Angry
