Cantando, you may be right that someone who wants to be an artist would be wise to quit his dishwashing job and go paint, but what Eckhart Tolle is saying is Do what you're doing when you're doing it. Whatever your next right action is, whether it's painting, doing the dishes, or meditating about your vision, be present and honor the moment.
And by the way, I don't believe that great artists don't worry about their physical needs!
