A similar realization hits me pretty strong at least once a week:
I'm a white male living in the United States. I'm in my 30s and I'm living through the heart of a technical revolution.
I'm doing what I love -- freelance hacking. I can (and do) work from anywhere (lived in Amsterdam last winter). I get to work on challenging projects.
I eat like kings could only dream (and that's just hitting up Taco Bell). I sleep in a comfortable bed and a warm home.
And my life ain't no dress rehearsal for the next one. I get one shot at it. (As far as I know.)
And I ask myself: am I still driving at it all as hard as I can? Or am I getting comfortable and lazy?
