"You’re here to shine. And if you’re not in a position where you can truly shine today, then simply up and leave. Now."

Well I agree with that. Except the last word: "Now".

That's not practical for many who need money to live and have a work-ethic that says "don't freeload".

My approach is to make a gradual change. I am building skills, experience and income in my non-day-job-time. This takes all the risk and fear out of it. It is just slower. Works for me.

Some other comments:

Perhaps the reason people react strongly to this is that they secretly know that internal voice is right?

You can turn your hobbies into money makers. I think that's the whole point. Love your hobby? then make it a business and love your work!

Finally... some people like cleaning toilets. It can be very zen.
