Thinker and Prover
In Robert Anton Wilson's book - Prometheus Rising, he talks about the concept of the human mind behaving as if it were divided into two parts - the Thinker and the Prover. He states that 'What the Thinker thinks the Prover will prove. For example if someone thinks that all homeless people are lazy, then the Prover will prove it. It will seek out all the evidence that it can find to show that every single homeless person is lazy. Even scientists who are still believed to be objective will prove this rule. Studies of the lives of the great scientists prove that they are as passionate and hence as 'prejudiced' as any great painter or musician.
Hence, if your Thinker thinks that it is impossible for you to make money from doing the work you love then your Prover will go out of its way to confirm this. If you think that not having a degree makes you stupid or inferior then again your Prover will go out of its way to find evidence of this.
