This seems like an incredibly unhealthy outlook on life. First of all, it completely ignores the concept of necessity. Some people need to go to a dialysis clinic several times a week, or they'll die. That takes time. Some people have to take their kids to school every day. Some people have to commute two hours to and from work because they can't afford to live closer. "Everyone has the same amount of time in a day" is a useless statement, because everyone does not have the same amount of obligations. It's very important to be able to accept that sometimes you can't do what you want to do, no matter how much you want it. It's important to be able to understand that, for example, "choosing" to sleep 5 hours a night so you can grind harder might be a really stupid and unhealthy idea, even if you really want it. It's true that many people talk about wanting things that they aren't really willing to work for, but that's ok! Relaxation is good for you, you shouldn't spend every waking second working through some prioritized list of life goals. Finally, this is kind of petty, but running several miles without water does not make you "truly thirsty". It's not even abnormal, running 5-10 miles without water is fine, maybe slightly uncomfortable if you didn't hydrate a lot that day.
