I don't think I agree with that. If you really wanted to be a great artist, you would start painting
now, regardless of your circumstances. If you are having a vision (or, rather, a daydream), it remains a vision.
Many great artists lived in poverty. The weren't interested in their physical needs, they just did what their souls compelled them to do, whether they were successful or not, whether they were recognized or not. They didn't jus dream about it, while they were washing dishes.
To be 'great' at anything, you have to live and breathe it with a passion.
