So, it's possible to do what one feels called to and enjoys doing AND not become homeless. If one can transform the beliefs preventing that experience to emerge.
They do more than just create the experience, they literally create what we think of as reality. Our greater consciousness is creating in every moment the world we live in.

Out of the blue, I've been abandoned by people with whom I felt I had a secure and stable bond. Many other times, to my bafflement, I've encountered instances of negativity where, at first, my naivete didn't suspect the slightest thing.
This is why personally I prefer to focus more on building a strong foundation within the self, with which, even when negativity is encountered, the self remains single-pointed and committed to the notion of seeing a degree of beauty or meaning even in seemingly negative events. In that sense, I wholeheartedly agree with the notion that the identification of conscious or unconscious beliefs is of extreme importance, just not with the expectation of seeing things change externally.
This concept can be very difficult to accept for many people. Especially so for those who have been thru truly hellish experiences. If someone tells them they create their own reality, and own experience, then they think you are blaming them for causing their own suffering.
The picture is more complicated than a lot of people think when it comes to belief creating experience and reality. The simple layer which most people agree on, is beliefs act to bias the consciousness into what is noticed and color the experience. When someone is having paranoid delusions it is real to them what they are experiencing. The same happens to everyone on a lesser scale. You might have had a bad incident with people named Hugh Jannus, so whenever you meet someone else with the same name you automatically dislike them.
The next layer is that the beliefs create biases which effect behavior and choices which create experiences subconsciously. Ex. A belief that you are an inadequate romantic partner could stop you from having long term romantic success.
Beyond that the real difficult to accept stuff stars happening. Like the drawing in of experienced based on belief, and the creation of matter.
What is usually forgotten is that we are co-creating the world with every other conscious thing. The level of actual control we have is limited due to the desire of our higher being to be in this co-created reality. So there is a level where our consciousness is communicating with each other so we create a reality which is congruent with each other. This includes things we never expect and random occurrences.
