Introduction

Scott Kesterson, founder and producer of the BardsFM Podcast Channel, created a wonderful podcast audio file on December 24th 2020 in which he relates our history from 1775 and the First American Revolution and Declaration of Independence to the current challenges resulting from the 2020 Election Steal result.

This audio track was used to create a video which is posted on the YLBD Bit Chute Channel entitled "CONGRESS: DO YOU LISTEN TO WE THE PEOPLE? - A PETITION LETTER OF DEFIANCE". I changed the original title that started with "DONALD TRUMP" from that to "CONGRESS" because Trump has been listening but Congress clearly has not or we would not be in the throes of the challenges that we are now facing as the swamp is finally being drained.

Why The American Dream Is Not Available For You – Unless …

The Origin Of The American Dream.

The American Dream, as a concept, was founded on a notion, as an aspiration or reward, in the spirit of the Declaration Of Independence by virtue of a very clear, but simple, statement of fact first laid out in 1776.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

However, the explicit word combination of "The American Dream", as an actual, referential, phrase with any related meaning, did not appear, in any current day recognizable form, until well into the early years of the Industrial Revolution.

However, the actual phrase, in any current day recognizable form, did not appear until well into the early days of the Industrial Revolution.

But, why does any of this matter to you?

Well, if you've set out to achieve The American Dream for yourself by following the guidance typically offered by well-meaning, but misguided, parents, friends, school-counselors and society, then it should matter. Here's why ...

How To Make Money To Live Life On Your Own Terms!

The Key To Living Life On Your Own Terms.

The key to being able to reliably live life on your own terms, with comfort and ease, is to escape "The System": You have to get off "The Grid"* to Gain Radical Independence Directly (GRID) for yourself! (See * below for my definition; what I mean by get off "The Grid" and live off "The Grid".)

This simply means, you have to be living your life in a way that is free of having any dependence on any of the things you need for a safe, comfortable life that could affect your welfare and safety but over which things you typically, conventionally, have no control. Things such as your Income, Shelter, Food and Electricity: You have to be in control of these things to protect your welfare and safeguard your well-being!

Cash In The Bank

But, to have that kind of control, this means that you have to escape "The System"! You have to be living off "The Grid"*! In particular, you have to get out from depending on the 9-5 Jobs Market for your source of Income. But, how are you going to do that? Do you know how to do that?

This article deals specifically with alternate options for making money and handling the challenge of creating Income outside of relying on the typical 9-5 Jobs Market that exists within "The System"! So, keep reading to find the solution that could work for you ...

Why Do You Need Money To Live Off The Grid?

Freedom comes from escaping "The System" and getting into Living Off-The-Grid* free of any dependence on "The System"!

There are four basic freedoms: Purpose, Time, People and Location! Helping you to achieve these freedoms is what "Your Life By Design™", is all about!

In summary, to live your life on your own terms with comfort and ease and enjoy having the four freedoms - being able to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want and where you want - you really do have to have a ready source of money and be Living Off-The-Grid* and outside of The System!

Income and Savings

a) If you don't have a ready source of money, you wont enjoy any comfort and you will certainly not be at lasting ease. It takes money to get into Living Off-The-Grid and establish the self-sufficient, self-reliant lifestyle!

b) If you don't Live Off-The-Grid*, you are never really going to get to enjoy having the four freedoms. The conventional way of modern, 9-5 Job type life is like a trap: It's an unsustainable, unfulfilling, continual drain on all of your resources; not just your money. The word JOB is, in fact, an acronym for "Just Over Broke"!

Freedom! What Is That?

The Foundation Of Our Freedom:

Here in the United States, we talk a lot about freedom and being a free nation. In terms relative to other countries, that is largely true thanks to our Constitution.

For example, we are blessed to have the right to freedom of speech and to elect our leaders from a local through State to Federal level. We have the Constitutional Rule Of Law. But, do we really have freedom on a personal level? Are you doing the things that you love and that bring you joy?

What, exactly, do I mean by personal level freedom? What kind of freedom is that? Freedom from what? And how do you get, and enjoy having, this freedom? And, if you are you not doing the things that you love and that bring you joy, why not?

It's about getting to do the things that you love and that bring you joy! Stay with me here as I show you what I mean by all this. Then, let me know in the Comments below what Freedom means to you and what you think about all this.

Do You Want To Take Back Control Over Your Life?

Let's start by asking, do you want to take back control over your life? Do you want the Freedom to live life on your own terms?

Seems rhetorical doesn't it? Who wouldn't want control over how they live their life and yet many are living lives of quiet desperation, unaware of the possibilities for them to make a change? Even unaware of why they feel so stressed, so unhappy, unhealthy, dissatisfied and disillusioned with their life.

Classic Commuter Nightmare. Toxic Fumes, Stress, Time And Money Loss.

Does this ring true for you? Do you even realize that you have no control over your own life if you live within "the system"? Do you realize how vulnerable you are if you live within "the system"? How will you survive if "the system" fails? This is about getting to that Freedom to live life on your own terms. Are you ready?
