It does take some level of "physical" stability as well to make the transition unless you hit rock bottom and you have absolutely nothing to lose!
Stability/security is surely a subjective concept and your standard of living determines what it is for you, but in general, if your finances are a mess, then it will be much harder to muster that inner strength to make the jump.. especially if you have to get a substantial pay cut, or have to go back to school, or you do as Steve says and quit your current job before you know what the next step is. Bills won't wait until you sort things out.
As for uncertainty of the future, it doesn't really ever disappear. It only seems bigger when you don't have a history in a new line of work/experience. In fact, certainty is a retrospective illusion. Future is always uncertain (mostly due to lack of 'complete information') and looking forward always requires inner strength no matter where you are and what you are doing (even when you have a long history in a particular line of work)!
