I am currently doing this for a endeavor that I am involved in. Sometimes, it is all in the preparation.
OR
You could begin taking a course here and there at a local college or night school. Maya skills as well as Illustrator skills are often great ways to make money as a consultant. There is many ways in which you can use your skills and aptitudes.
All in All, It does begin with thinking outside the box though. Creating a new Paradigm that is working for you instead of trying to fit into an established paradigm. Sit quietly and ask your higher self to guide you to a location that has fullfilling employment where you are fairly compensated for the work that create, do, and make. Then, simply go where you are guided to go. Synchronisty is afoot when we send forth our energy and are willing to accept the creation the Universe delivers to us.
These are some profound ideas here. I absolutely agree with fairyfarmgirl, that the key to manifesting, is to first make your choice about what you want, and then, not only take action and work towards that goal, but actually start living your life as though it were already manifest.
That last part is the part so often missed. It might seem pointless to start creating your art, when you don't see how you could possibly earn a living from it. But, the way to create a reality in which you can earn a living from it, is to start creating it as though it were already true! Right now, maybe you can't earn a living from your art, but if you start creating your art, a way to earn a living from it might just manifest! Why? Because you set it in motion! But if you accept that you can't earn a living doing what you love, then you can be sure that will continue to be true.
Why accept that limitation when you have the power to change it?
I recently applied this principle to my business. For many years, I sat in an office cubicle, very depressed at having such a bleak job. I wanted my livelihood to be in alignment with my values! I wanted to do something that actually helped people!
But, I didn't have the faith at that time to take action in that direction. So I programmed computers all day, but was miserable inside.
Then, suddenly I got laid off! And was unable to find another similar job because the technology had changed. Suddenly, I found myself at a crossroads, with no idea what direction to go in.
Long story short, if I hadn't been laid off from that job, I'd probably still be there. But now, I have a thriving business that I love, that is helping people in profound ways!
But alas, I then found myself too busy to enjoy life! I was neglecting myself and family. (But never Bring4th, haha!) My guidance was telling me I needed to slow down, do some yoga, etc. but I never seemed to find the time. Which was absolutely ridiculous, since I can work whenever I want and don't answer to anyone! I had no excuse!
A month ago, I pulled a muscle lifting something heavy, and was forced to take it easy. Duh! Once again, I waited too long, until my Higher Self finally intervened!
Finally, I got the message and am now making a point to balance my time and my life. I am spending more time in the garden, doing yoga, with my family, etc. And guess what! Other factors are rearranging themselves, to accommodate my new lifestyle! I'm still busy, but somehow, time seems to have stretched...
I agree with fairyfarmgirl...start NOW doing what you love...and the $$ will follow. Don't wait to get hit over the head with a 2x4 like I did.
