How do musicians (& artists) cope with Reality or real life?

I am a musician, and have often pondered this. Like what if i ever had to get a full now musical job? or how would someone who loves music just quit? I don't ever believe someone "can't" do something, unless its physically impossible. I think that in my life, and anyone elses who really feels they are pionate about music (like yourself), will have to decide whether the have the courage to jump in and go for it or not. You can make you pions a reality, if your willing to keep at it, pursue it, and just plain put in the time and effort without making excuses. You'd have to practice everyday, and play gigs that may not be "top notch", but if you keep pushing forward, you can make it big! Don't be afraid to go for what you really want!
