You are not 'behind'
For the past 10 years, I only spent about 4 to 8 hours per week on entertainment - All the rest of my time was divided between work and sleep (I only sleep 5 hours per day on weekdays). Financially, I have nothing to show for it unfortunately so I really feel like I&#x27;m behind and that I&#x27;ve missed the boat on many things. What makes it particularly difficult is that I was working really hard the whole time - When I read articles about (comparatively) lazy people who feel that they are behind, it makes me upset because it reminds me that I should be feeling worse than I&#x27;m actually feeling - Because I actually tried and I could have been having fun or procrastinating instead - I would be happier overall because I could accept my predicament more easily (and my mind wouldn&#x27;t be burdened with ambition).<p>If you&#x27;re behind because you were lazy, you can laugh about it. If you&#x27;re behind because the stars didn&#x27;t line up for you (E.g. the carpet got pulled from underneath you several times) then it&#x27;s hard to laugh about it.<p>In retrospect, being lazy isn&#x27;t too bad.
