The point is that you do have that luxury. Hiding behind the need to feed your family is just another excuse, one that continues to feed your apathy and despair. You'll be even more capable of meeting your needs and theirs on a path that inspires you. A lack of external resources is not the problem. A lack of inner resources is. If you were really committed to living an inspired life and stopped hiding behind such excuses, you'd see there are abundant options to keep everyone's bellies full during your transition.

Besides... if you've been doing such a fabulous job supporting your family thus far, perhaps they'll be willing to return the favor and give you some support in return. Tell them what you want. Tell them why it's so important to you. Ask them for their help.
