Paul P. (impaul999) wrote a post about making the transition - turns out, he quit his job to pursue his passion. Then, 2 years later, he was almost bankrupt. So, he went back to work. But...he went back to work with a different mentality.

I feel really inspired by his post - it espouses a win-win situation (pay bills AND eventually get to your passion as a full-time career). It all boils down to self-trust and self-faith. As he puts it:

The shortest path towards doing what you love is not by pushing against what you hate and making it so horrible that it drives you to snap and make a giant dramatic leap towards what you love. The shortest path is by taking a step towards doing what you love, right now, no matter what you’re doing and having the faith and trust in yourself to know that you won’t stop until you’re 100% there.
