That’s reasonable advice, but it’s hard to pay the bills when you are off getting Zen on yourself.

And likewise, it's hard (though I guess not impossible) to achieve that Zen when you can't afford food or shelter. Maslow's hierarchy of needs and all that.

I understand what you say, the world is not fair and some of us, including me, have started from zero and should have basic needs in our life. However, I don't think spending time, for instance, 30-60 min a day for things we love to be hard

I call myself constant learner, some years ago I said if Japanese people improved their country through small changes rule (10 min a day) what if I spend 1-3 hours a day for things I really love to follow?

The world is badly designed. We can fix that. ;)
