Every day. But then I look at my children, remember the work I've done that I'm most proud of and stuff like that and I shrug it off.
Sure, I would love to be more socially engaged in my surroundings, but whenever I'm in doubt about my life I reevaluate my priorities and usually discover that I'm pretty happy where I'm at. It's my life and I get to define the optimum, and so far viral content, insta-fame and richness hasn't gotten close to the top.
Caveat: I'm not famous, haven't founded a start-up or famous for my twitter debates. But it works for me.
- lotharbot 11y agoI'm with you. I have a wife and a son. I live in my childhood home, which is completely paid off. My parents, grandparents, and most of my siblings live within a 5 mile radius. I don't have an 8-figure net worth, but I have enough money to do the things I want to do in life, none of which involve being famous or working 80-hour weeks.
