Sometimes it's the little things that keep me from the important things

The 'opponent' is relentless. I caught myself throwing a fit about some changes that took place in my Youtube subscription. It was like I had leaked entitlement all over my pants-oops! After that little episode, it occurred to me that every instance where I have had an upset was linked to entitlement- like every one of them.
I am just 'getting back in the saddle,' so to speak. I have not done well with managing my time over this last month. I also failed to keep my purpose in front of me as that would have helped me to be a better steward of my time.
I am never more fulfilled than when I am working on something where I am expressing myself and the whole idea of these challenges was to get on track to becoming productive enough that I would have time to create and work on the things that really get my juices going.
This weekend is the last of a series of parties I was asked to be part of. However, the problem, I suspect, was how I prioritize. I hate to admit that I might be a simpleton, but hey, it's not the end of the world.
At least one thing that I notice is I am not very productive at night and my will power is the weakest. So, I'll be shifting my work schedule to begin earlier so I can get to bed earlier.
On another note, there has been something I couldn't reconcile around the topic of entitlement, Perhaps, you can guide me along.
Equality is the battle cry of the day, it seems. This was all stirred up when I saw this documentary suggesting that Black people migrate to the south where their numbers are greater to provide a base for political power and such.
So, what I haven't been able to work out is that the concept of 'equality' seems to come from entitlement and yet doing what you can do to improve the quality of life seems to be taking responsibility.
To personalize this a bit, I jump in my car, go where I please, vote and do pretty much anything. This seems to be a direct function of my ancestors doing some work that affords me these privileges. I'm not entitled to the privileges I have, and yet, I wonder if those who fought that I may have these privileges had entitlement underneath their efforts?
